Eater - Chi

It recently dawned on me that not everyone knows about Eater, one of my favorite and most trusted go-to food blogs.  It's clever and artsy and totally accurate.  Bookmark.it.

GT Fish & Oyster

Someone recently asked me if I would ever write a naughty blog (and yes, the term 'naughty' was used), meaning would I ever write a non-favorable entry.  I suggested they read Chicken Pot Pie Funeral.  The truth is, I don't want to waste time writing about poorly executed meals because there are so many fantastic ones to share, including my dinner last Thursday night at GT Fish & Oyster!

I'd heard mixed reviews about the service but had a wonderfully attentive server (Oscar) who accommodated my dinner party's every request, mainly, 'please split everything into three servings', although my portion was always the smallest (Lou - if you're reading, it's true).

The menu is meant to share which is ideal because I typically want to taste five or six dishes, although I would absolutely eat the Lobster Roll alone.  It did not disappoint.  We ordered a second after the first.  Our other dishes included the Baja Shrimp Bruschetta with avocado, toasted pistachios, grapefruit and garnished with cilantro; a Miso-Glazed Cod served with asparagus and preserved mango; Fish Tacos with a chipotle aioli and peashoots; Lobster Mac and Cheese with English peas and the Key Lime Pie dessert served trifle style.  Honestly, I could have ordered more!
