On Saturday, February 20, we craved seafood and revisited Marcello's Fresh Catch Bistro. This is our favorite restaurant for seafood. It was packed, but we were promptly seated, although we arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation.
After an initial medical emergency concerning another customer of the restaurant, our server came to the table. She was a bit flustered because, although she opened our wine, she neglected to bring glasses. We had already received menus from the hostess and thought the single sheet contained the specials. We later found out that our server forgot to mention the specials (Jay loves specials!)
We still had an enjoyable evening, with delicious food and pleasant company.
In addition to the bread basket, we also received servings of warm garlic bread - delicious!
Appetizers:
Jay - crab fingers; 12 crab claws sauteed in garlic and oil. Very meaty and well seasoned.
Ken - shrimp kisses - with mozzarella and proscuitto. Also, well seasoned.
Entrees:
Jay - Amy's seafood Newburg with shrimp, crabmeat and scallops. Much better, and fresher tasting, than Barnacle Ben's (which we later found out had closed).
Ken - surf & turf with garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was perfectly cooked to the "medium" that Ken loves.
Wines enjoyed:
2008 Salamander Chardonnay (From MyWinesDirect.com)
2008 Vins Las Tizas Malbec/Mendoza (From MyWinesDirect.com)
Before leaving, we asked the gentleman at the next table what he had ordered, because it smelled so good. He ordered the shrimp scampi over pasta. We may order next time we go.
This restaurant never disappoints!
