Dishes Sampled
We started with a selection of the classic appetizers: Crispy Salmon Salad, super crispy, lightly breaded salmon, slightly spicy, was served with soy sauce on the side, a delightful option to start your meal with. Followed by Salmon Scallop Carpaccio, another light starter, served ultra-fresh. This duo was drizzled with a good amount of lemon and olive oil and garnished with a delicate, aromatic vinaigrette. Our Sashimi Boat was filled with tiny bites of salmon, shrimp and crab sashimi garnished with cubes of avocado and red caviar. This was just a small sample of their finest Japanese selection. Then came the Sea Shell Risotto, a set of three seashells stuffed with different types of risotto: scallop, pesto, zucchini, shrimp saffron and salmon cherry tomatoes. The portions were just right and the presentation was rather elegant. It was a good option to share, as risotto can be quite a filling, heavy dish. Finally, the Sea Bass Quinoa was one of the highlights of our evening. Crispy skin, moist and flaky flesh, on a bed of quinoa salad and ruccola; all doused with balsamic dressing. This dish was a real summer dinner treat.
