WOW
That sizes up my wonderful experence tonight at Majid's.....
After reading about it, watching the transormation from afar, and hearing the "chatter", Alan and I decided to venture there for dinner. And I'm SO glad we did.
We were greeted by Stephen and he showed us to a very nice bistro table in the bar. I was impressed with the way the place has been transformed into this incredably chic "spot", and was very alive for a fun crowd.
We started off with a couple of cocktails. I had a "Tahetian (sp) Punch....was perfect for what I requested (something fruity and pineapple) and Alan got a PERFECT Appletini. Probably one of the best he's had, and trust me, he's had plenty.
We split a plate of Calamari that was perfectly breaded and cooked to tender perfection. It was served with an a mixture of greens and grapes.....a wonderful arrangement of tastes and textures.
I ordered the grilled Salmon, which was prepped to the perfect stage of moist and incredably flakey. It was served with Besemic rice and a veggie medley that was to die for. I don't usually like squash, but I adorded this.
Alan ordered the Roasted Duck. Elegant presentation with a half of duck exquisitly prepared. Perfectly crisp. And very flavorful. This was served with fingerlings and a Cuscus that was a nice sweet size to the savory of the duck.
Stephen took care of dessert of us..We each were served a glass of Belgen Chocolate mixed with a nice Cab. Sav. NOw I kow this sounds a bit wierd, but it was VERY good, and decidant.
Dinner for us came to $80. Plus a $20 tip for GRAND and comfortably attentative service.
Alan and I are defiantly planning on going back. Hmmmmmm. Two birthdays this month. I think I know where we will be going!
If life's a Banquet, what's with all the Tofu?
Cheers!
