Seven of us forumites ( Bill Veneman, Gary F., Suzi Bernert, Richard M., and Gina and Tom Holstein) met at Seviche at Goose Creek for the Second Tuesday Dinner Group. Oh what fun! The food was awesome; the service impeccable. ( I wish I could remember our server's name.
) Anthony is giving Majid a real run for the title of Louisville Host with the Most! The restaurant setting has been so cleverly redone, that it is hard to envision its past as a Hungry Pelican.
Our meal started with two complimentary appetizers: calamari rings and duck breast of skewers. I am definitely going to have to add Seviche at Goose Creek to my growing list of Louisville restaurants with "to-die-for" calamari - tender, not chewy, lightly crumbed with a two sauces, one that was very akin to mojo. The only complaint was two few tentacles (I think are the best part.)
We ordered a variety of mojitos, appetizers, seviches, a salad, entrees, wine and coffee and passed quite of few of them around for all to taste, with each bite near surpassing the previous. I would be hard pressed to say which was the tastiest. Although we did manage to get in quite a bit of conversation, I know that we all were eating like we had not touched food in days.
I certainly hit the jackpot with my choices. I ordered the escargot, a crawfish seviche, and the feijoada, a Brazilian meat stew with black beans and rice. They were all so near to perfection that it will be difficult for me to force my self to try other items from the menu when I go back. The feijoada has got to be the ultimate in comfort food. (And, yes, I had plenty to take home for Wednesday's meals!)
Thank you, Anthony, for a remarkable evening. Like Macarthur, I will return! I am certain that I speak for the rest of the group as well. Also thank you, Gary, for your gifts homemade-spiced nuts that you shared with everyone.
P.S. We missed you Michele, Mike and Robert.
