Prime Steak Tartare

We began our culinary journey with the Prime Steak Tartare, a dish that highlights the art of simplicity and freshness. The hand-cut prime beef was tender and flavorful, enhanced by the briny bite of capers and the subtle sweetness of finely diced shallots. Paired with crisp, golden crostini, each bite was a delightful balance of texture and taste—elegant yet approachable, and the perfect way to start our meal.

What makes this tartare so memorable is the balance between refinement and boldness. The prime beef was exceptionally tender, almost buttery in texture, and its natural flavor was allowed to shine without being overshadowed by heavy seasoning. The addition of capers introduced a briny pop that cut through the richness, while the shallots gave just the right amount of sharpness for contrast. Layering it on the crisp crostini not only provided crunch but also turned each bite into a perfect harmony of textures. It was the kind of dish that reminds you why tartare has been a fine-dining classic for decades.

Ocean Roll

Next came the Ocean Roll, which was as visually stunning as it was delicious. Featuring a delicate blend of tuna, salmon, and hamachi, this roll captured the very essence of ocean-fresh seafood. The creamy avocado added richness, while the chili garlic oil provided a subtle heat that tied everything together beautifully. It was vibrant, balanced, and the kind of dish that lingers in your memory long after the plate is cleared.

The Ocean Roll was a standout example of how sushi-inspired creations can transcend expectations. Each piece was carefully constructed to highlight the freshness of the fish, allowing the clean, delicate flavors of the tuna, salmon, and hamachi to shine through. The avocado added a creamy element that tied the trio together, while the drizzle of chili garlic oil gave just enough heat to keep the palate intrigued. The roll was beautifully plated, almost too pretty to eat, and showcased the kitchen’s attention to detail. It struck the perfect balance of elegance and innovation—a dish that satisfied both the eyes and the taste buds.

Blackened Snapper

For our main courses, the Blackened Snapper stood out as a bold and flavorful option. Perfectly seasoned and seared to a delicate crust, the fish was tender and flaky on the inside. The accompaniments elevated the dish even further: the sweet corn spoon bread offered a comforting, Southern-inspired touch, while the Swiss chard added a hint of earthiness. A silky corn emulsion tied it all together, making each forkful a layered, satisfying experience.

Chilean Sea Bass

The Chilean Sea Bass was a masterpiece in its own right. This dish combined buttery, melt-in-your-mouth fish with a selection of thoughtful accompaniments. The broccolini brought a fresh, slightly bitter note to balance the richness of the fish, while pearl onions added sweetness and the potato purée delivered a creamy foundation. Finished with a truffle vinaigrette, the dish was luxurious and harmonious—a shining example of why Chilean Sea Bass has become a fine-dining favorite.
