Fishtail (for dinner)

In need of dinner near Bloomingdales, I decided to return to Fishtail.  As you may recall, when I tried Fishtail's brunch recently, the restaurant suffered from a service issue BUT the manager stepped in and did an excellent job turning a long wait into a lovely brunch.  In light of the way the manager handled the situation, I thought I would go back to Fishtail to see if the service could live up to Fishtail's excellent food.

I was pleased that we did not experience any service hiccups during our dinner.  All of our dishes were home runs.  I think at a restaurant like Fishtail, you can't go wrong.

What to Eat:

I had to start with the Pretzel Crabcake.  This appetizer is a must.  I was blown away by it when I first tried it at brunch a few months back sand was excited to devour it again.  For those that missed my brunch post, the pretzel crusted crab cake is placed above a sweet sesame oil sauce to give the appetizer a savory and sweet mix.

And because the Lobster Scramble was such a hit at brunch, I went for the Lobster Risotto for dinner.  This night time lobster dish was equally succulent.  The risotto was buttery and filled with a generous portion of fresh lobster.  

As a side, I opted for the sauteed carrots and peas.The bowl of colorful veggies was doused in olive oil and topped with a something resembling a steak seasoning.  This side is perfect for sharing.

The mousse was not what I was expecting but still tasty.  The fluffy, milk chocolate mousse was accompanied by toasted pistachios and a scoop of ice cream.  This dessert is small so don't plan on sharing it unless all you and your dining partner want is "a bite" of chocolate.
