More City Restaurant Week staff reviews will be coming in soon of Ameritage, Mikimotos, Cafe Mezzanotte and Harry's Seafood Grill.
In the meantime, I'll share an email I received from a Second Helpings reader about her Wednesday lunch experience at Harry's:
Went to Harry's Seafood today with the office for a "thank you" lunch.
I ordered from the $15 menu because I really wanted fresh fish, unfortunately, there was only one option (opa), other than salmon on the regular menu which I don't eat.
I opted for the City Restaurant Week menu because it had a broiled tilapia, which I do eat. It had a nice dusting of basil encrusted on it, with a wild mushroom reduction and served over herbed red quinoa, which I've never had before, but loved.
It had a nice nutty flavor to it and the fish was cooked to perfection! I got the Smoked Shrimp Bisque w/Lemon-cayenne creme fraiche and it had a wonderful smoky flavor, creamy and lots of baby shrimp. Delicious!
Then, everyone was ordering dessert so I did order a peanut butter/chocolate cake from the menu, but.... it was more like peanut butter with a kind of cookie dough cake. Not for my liking so I brought it back to the office for the poor souls who didn't get to go!
Honestly, everyone ordered different dishes and I don't think ANYONE of our 10 people were unhappy. Our boss said the fish tacos had so much flavor and my co-worker sat next to me and had the crab cakes and man, they were packed with lump crab.
I almost reached over and forked his food!! Only two of us got something from the City Restaurant Week menu and we both got exactly the same thing - and he loved it too!
Anyway, I've enjoyed TWO wonderful, filling City Restaurant Week lunches this week at the participating restaurants, and I wish I had planned better and went to more!!!
