Seabass looks good.
The entry is covered with a black awning entrance to protect you from the elements.
Jameson is waiting on us tonight.
We sat in the bar area in a booth. Would not have been my first pick.
They do at least have plexiglass dividers between the booths.
We asked for a bit more time to figure out our Lenten permitted meal and it seems like our waiter is MIA. The female bartender ended up taking our order, our waiter / bartender was busy making cocktails. They are a tag team covering the bar area tonight.
Our Pellegrino water is in a red wine glass, that's a first.
We ordered the salmon Caesar, less the Caesar dressing and croutons, Chilean seabass, sautéed mushrooms, spinach and garlic and double chopped salad, less pancetta, vinaigrette design instead, less cheddar and less crispy onions.
The double chopped salad was split into two plates for us. The balsamic dressing is yummy, nice tartness to it. The julienned English cucumbers and celery are fun to eat. The hardboiled egg and celery is a nice addition to the usual chopped salad.
The salmon Caesar had the Caesar dressing on it already. Had to get it replated with balsamic dressing.
The spinach is extremely salty, salt lick salty, even. My Brazilian friends would love it. We asked them to make it without salt if needed.
The blackened salmon is nicely cooked.
The Chilean seabass is pretty good, it's well cooked, not as buttery as I would have liked. The skin is left on the seabass, looks like it would be great for healing wounds for diabetics and skin grafts for burn victims. I just looked it up and the only FDA approved fish on the market in the USA for healing wounds is the Icelandic cod.
The second spinach is good, nice slivers of garlic and no salt or barely any, if at all. It's so much better for sure.
The mushrooms are so lovely and absolutely fantastic. I wanted more. The Cremini mushrooms are cooked perfectly. The olive oil and seasoning is so yummy.
Food was all good. Had a few fix-ups with the salmon Caesar and the spinach, but the meal overall was decent. Service was also okay. Not ideal to sit in the dining area of a bar section, since service can be hit or miss. If you sit in the bar, sit at the bar. If you sit in the dining room, sit away from the bar and in the main dining room.
