The Seafood looks identical to the seafood tower at Balthazar. It looks like a really interesting place to go for dinner outside of traditional BBQ yet close enough for comfort..Your review was wonderfully written. It really answered a lot of the questions I had about the restaurant itself and the menu selections.
Thanks Diva, I have a few thoughts on the ribs, they were not very meaty which gives the smoke the oppertunity to penetrate all the way through, maybe changing them to meaty babybacks would help. Another is the wood, English oak is very different to American oak, and if used exccesivly rather than an enhancer would create this after taste. Lastly, if they are holding the ribs in the smoker rather than wrapping them, the smoke will just be hitting the outside not really acheiving anything. I am sure that as other reviews have picked up on this they will be looking into it.
