beautiful restaurant
My husband and I went to try out the new restaurant at the Promenade. Beautiful place, servers are trained well to suggest items and apps on the menu.
Paella is not one of the greats. I had tilapia and it was delicious, but this really is an ala carte menu, no vegys or salad, not that that is important but a $3.00 piece of fish is not worth $21.95. Nothing for children. GREAT MOJITO!

Great Ideas - Poor follow through
This menu was very interesting, great ideas for appetizers as well as entrees. My husband had a chicken wonton in a smokey tomato broth, absolutely excellent. Then the organic duck – not so great.
I had waldorf salad – half portion very nice but the taste was very bland, then Lobster on a shewer with brushetta, nice idea BUT the brushetta had green and kalmata olives it in and it totally was TOO strong for the dish.
Great ideas but the dishes need a little help to make the ideas match the taste.

08/27/2008I totally agree with you in that olives sometimes can have really strong flavor and to put with lobster which has a more sweet taste to it doesn’t seem like a good pairing.
The chicken wonton in that smoky tomato broth; however, sounds fabulous.
