Restaurant Week - Lure Fishbar

Since its restaurant week, Adam and I decided to take advantage by eating some goood foood.

I was craving fish, since its healthy and we haven't been cooking it all that much at home, so Lure Fishbar sounded like a good bet. They had a good menu and awesome reviews on Yelp. (Yelp rocks if you didn't already know).

They only had one reservation for Friday night (6pm), so like the loser that we are, took it. We certainly weren't alone - tons of people were already eating dinner when we arrived, and they weren't senior citizens. (I love seniors and will gladly partake in early bird specials, so I am in no way making fun)

It was so very interesting inside, like being on a yacht and its HUGE. I had no idea how big this place was.


We started with appetizers:


Tuna Tartar with sesame vinaigrette and crispy wontons

This was absolutely delicious, fresh and refreshing. What a great start to a meal. It looked like a small portion, but was really more than enough to get my appetite started.

New England Clam Chowder


It was a small bowl, but very tasty. It actually had real littleneck clams that were whole, not chopped up. Definitely a quality soup! It was gone in about 2 minutes, Adam was hungry!

Appetizers naturally lead to the main course:


Seared Yellowfin Tuna with soba noodles, thai peanut sauce, mushrooms and lotus root

This dish was incredible. It was a beautiful portion with so much flavor, I just couldn't stop talking about it the whole meal. I couldn't figure out what the lotus root was, but it has a similar flavor and consistency as water chestnuts, which I love. The tuna was seared perfectly, the noodles were ooey gooey delicious with the most amazing peanut sauce. I loved this dish.

Steamed Branzino with Ponzu and white Rice

This looked like a simple dish, but it packed a ton of flavor. The fish was so tender it practically melts in your mouth. The ponzu sauce was just the right amount of tangy and salty. Adam ate this dish up!

There's always room for dessert!

Warm Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Ice-Cream and Salted Popcorn

Wow was this GOOD. The cake had this ridiculous delicious fudgey center. I can't eat ice-cream, but totally tasted some of it anyway. You really need the cool, creaminess from the ice-cream to fully enjoy this delectable dessert. The popcorn was incredible and enhanced everything about this dish. I would easily pay $10 for this dessert.

Apple Bread Pudding with Cinnamon Ice-Cream

This was a special for the night and not part of the regular or Restaurant Week menu. I'm not a huge fan of bread pudding, but this was really good. It was filled with thinly sliced apples and pretty much melted in your mouth. It took us a while to figure out what the ice-cream was, but it complimented the dish nicely. There was an incredible homemade caramel sauce all over it that pretty much made you want to pick up the place and lick it clean.

Its also important to note that I had a lychee martini that was out of this world good. It had fresh lychee puree and a large gorgeous lychee on a stick in the glass. I'm a HUGE fan of drink snacks, so this made me particularly happy. It was worth the hefty price tag of $13.


Lure Fishbar is definitely good and would give it 4.5 stars. Service, decor and food were all outstanding. They didn't make us feel like lesser patrons because we were ordering from the RW menu, which was definitely a plus.
