It was Roswell Restaurant Week 2020 which drew me to C&S Seafood as their menu looked delicious. For Restaurant Week it was a 3 course $35 all day menu, with the following selections.
-First Course -
•French Onion & Leek Soup with Gruyere cheese crouton
•Seared Rare Ahi Tuna with Sicilian caponata, white truffle essence, grilled bread
- Second Course -
•Seared White Shrimp with artichoke puree, confit tomato, shiitake mushroom, warm olive oil with lemon and capers
•Seared Scottish Salmon
with asparagus, chorizo, soft garlic sauce
- Third Course -
•Warm Beignets with powdered sugar, praline sauce
I chose the ahi tuna appetizer, which was beautifully presented, a plentiful portion and absolutely delicious.
For my entree I opted for the salmon and asked for it to be prepared medium-rare. Again, another beautifully presented plate, the salmon portion was good sized and it was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The rest of the plate wasn’t quite what I was expecting though. The asparagus were delicious, but they had been carefully cut in half, so what looked like three asparagus spears on my plate, was really only 1.5 asparagus, a few more would have been nice. There was no sign or taste of the chorizo to be found, and the “soft garlic sauce” was most definitely a mustard sauce. Now I didn’t mention any of this to the waiter because in all honesty I didn’t care about the missing chorizo and the mustard sauce was quite delicious, but it would have been nice to get what was actually ordered.
For dessert the Restaurant Week option was the Beignets, but they hadn’t been prepared yet, so I was offered a choice of their other desserts. I opted for the key lime pie. I would say this is one to pass on. The filling was smooth but it lacked the tang of a good key lime pie, and the crust was on the soggy side. Not worth the calories or the price.
The service, presentation, and the seafood of the meal were all wonderful. There were a few things that were “off” but overall a good experience and I will definitely give C&S a visit on another day.
