Dinner. 53 by the Sea. Hawai‘i slash Mediterranean cuisine? Hmm.
Fully expected Jack Lord to be at the next table, in essence anyway. And The Ventures rocking in the bar. Okay The Mouse totally carbon dated himself. Hee hee.
Light, slightly sweet, good for summer.
The oil was olive oil, but The Mouse got confused about the dark liquid, shoyu? truffle something? truffle shoyu? Salty and umami-ish.
Two types of rolls “plain” and black olive ciabatta. Plain went better with the dipping oil than the olive.
Spicy Tomato Cream, Crispy Crostini. The Mouse liked more than The Cat, she preferred Michel’s (more traditional garlic butter). The Mouse just needed a bowl of rice and a fried egg (escargot loco moco?). Hee hee.
The Cat’s entree. Moromiso Macadamia Nut Crust, Kombu, Sauteed Local Vegetable, Clam Jus. Dish was good, could’ve used a touch more umami. A dash of shoyu maybe?
The Mouse’s order. Cranberry Walnut Honey Glaze, Asparagus, Sweet Potato, Lilikoi Demi. Well prepared, perfectly seasoned. Could’ve left off the lilikoi demi, just my opinion. The Mouse’s one minor “complaint”, skin wasn’t crispy (wasn’t supposed to be). Next time, The Mouse gonna bring his own torch. Hee hee.
Raspberry, Lilikoi, and Chocolate/Vanilla Hazelnut, with berries! Excellent.
Strawberry Shortcake with more berries.
Shades of Rhett Butler? Hee hee.
Enjoy. Eat well.

I remember Jack Lord in the original and still the best…
I think so too! 🙂
