DINING OUT

butter, or chimichurri.
In recent visits for
dinner, it was easy
has maintained its
reputation as a rocksteady
staple on the
Tampa Bay dining
scene. We relied on our
well-versed server to
guide us through the
menu and help us make
decisions. A decent
selection of respected
wines and handcrafted
conundrum which was
easily put to rest.
For entrees, our waiter suggested a succulent mahi mahi served
with diced mango chutney, perfectly light and delightful. While
the crispy Bang Bang Shrimp in signature spicy sauce is a must,
we were in a crab cake frame of mind. One can always judge a
seafood restaurant by its crab cakes, so when they arrived plump
maintain its dominance as a seafood establishment par excellence.
From starters and
salads, to tacos and
bowls, and classics
like shrimp and
and chicken marsala,
there is something
for every taste.
For non-seafood
eaters, our server
recommended Lily’s
Chicken which was
an explosion of goat
cheese, spinach,
artichoke hearts
and lemon basil on
a tender chicken
breast. Although a
starter, the Ahi Tuna
Sashimi was a meal
in itself, delicately cooked to a rare pink with a tantalizing sauce.
Don’t pass up the house specialty sides, like crispy brussels
sprouts with bits of ham, or Applewood bacon mac and cheese.
It’s nice that each menu item includes a calorie count, although
I would reckon most diners come here to kick back, loosen their
belts and forget their waistlines for a while. It’s hard not to
oblige.
