*NEW* Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail with Prosecco Cocktail Sauce and Grilled Lemon – $14.00
This dish contains two large shrimp, plus the prosecco sauce and charred lemon. We weren’t impressed.
The shrimp didn’t seem particularly fresh and had more of a fishy taste than we would have liked. For $14, it looks like a good deal, but we would skip it.
*NEW* Jonah Crab Claw Cocktail with Stone-Ground Mustard Sauce – $12.00
These are a hit. The dish has four moderately-sized claws. For $12, it’s a reasonable value.
The ground mustard complemented the dish instead of overwhelming it.
This is a deal we think you should go out of your way to check out. The taste and value merit consideration.
Moët & Chandon Impérial, Epernay, France ($42/bottle) – $21.00
Moët & Chandon describes this as having a “golden straw yellow with green highlights,” as well as “the vibrant intensity of green apple and citrus fruit, the freshness of mineral nuances and white flowers, and the elegance of blond notes (brioche, cereal, fresh nuts).”
Veuve Clicquot Ros̩, Reims, France ($62/bottle) Р$38.00
Veuve Clicquot describes this as having a “coppery-orange color. Expressive aromas of strawberry and very ripe wild strawberries. A full-bodied, structured, vinous palate which stays fresh. Length and character define this champagne.”
Dom P̩rignon, Epernay, France ($260/bottle) Р$69.00
From Dom Pérignon: “The delicate nose unfolds in swaths of color. The green of eucalyptus, mint and vetiver, the yellow-orange of mirabelle plums, apricot and orange blossom, the brown of pepper, cardamom and licorice sticks, and finally silvery saline and toasty hues. The mouthfeel is elegant, expressing luxuriant simplicity and precision. The refined and silky foundation becomes more pronounced at the heart. The finish is dominated by a salinity that leaves a deep sensation of consistency.”
