Last night some friends took to me to Tweed for a belated birthday celebration. The interior of the restaurant was very nice - I loved the color scheme (slate blue/gray and ivory), orchids, half-circle booths (soooo convenient for conversing!) and lighting. The appetizers were great - we tried the salmon tartare (my favorite), lollipop chicken wings, and cheesesteak croquettes (which were as excellent as I'd heard). I had a kir royale (brut champagne and Chambord, yum!) and a Bisous - a sparkling white wine (blanc de blanc) and St. Germain cocktail, which I am now obsessed with and will be drinking well into the spring and summer.
I was a little disappointed with the entrees - my lobster ravioli (while obviously made with fresh pasta and a very nice brown butter sauce) was almost cold when brought to the table, and the orcchiette was replaced with rigatoni for two of my friends' entrees, and no one explained why.
The desserts almost made up for it though - I had the cheesecake with bourbon-praline sauce (bourbon and pecans?! yes please) which was delicious. We also tried the poundcake ice cream sandwich and the peanut-butter and chocolate ganache bar, topped with peanut gelato. Wonderful!
Tonight I'm taking my husband to Zama for a sushi date night. We have high hopes, as Zama is well-reviewed, in-demand, and the menu looks nothing less than extremely impressive!
