Tribeca Iron Chef Alley

Greenwich Grill is a fusion between Japanese and Italian,   similar to Basta Pasta but it's a bit more pricey. After we were seated the waitress first brought us only the cocktail menu, it's a good sign that i won't be rushed out on my Friday night dinner. I can finally relax and enjoy a real meal after a long week.

Started with the "Wagyu" beef carpaccio. The beef was thinly pounded and topped with slices of parmesan cheese and mustard aioli sauce which gave a nice garlic flavor over the fresh tender meat.

The Mixed Seafood Ceviche was prepared with the special red snapper. The seafood was all very fresh and tasty but I had better ceviche elsewhere.I rarely eat lamb because of the gamey flavor but tonight i made an exception. Grilled lamb chops rubbed with Moroccan spice and vegetable couscous in tomato sauce. Wow! Amazing. So tasty. No gamey flavor. Lamb is back on my meat list starting tonight.

Thai green curry with Dungenes Crab on pappardelle. No frozen crab meat here - all fresh crab meat and real crab claws. Even though there was good amount of crab meat in the pasta, I was still struggled to get the meat out of the claws cause no food goes to waste.

The dishes were well portioned which allowed me to finish the nice dinner with a dessert. The blueberry cobbler took 15 min to baked but it was totally worth the wait. The sweet blueberries were buried in the crusty pastry topped with fresh whipped cream.

The Mont blanc was made with chestnut whipped cream with a hidden meringue inside and blueberry. OMG! Sooooo gooooooddddd. I had to be selfish this time, "Order your own - I'm not sharing."
