Seafood Palace Lunch

Monday,  October 22, 2018

Henry called late last night and wanted to do lunch today.  Evan , his wife was having lunch with her lady friends so Henry could escape for a few hours. With her health issues they both have  a lot on their plates.

So only 3 of us today.   The Seafood Place has been bought out by a group that has several Chinese restaurants.  They were doing some remodeling in the area where they host large functions. Our dining area had been reconfigured and they had the beautiful drapes and the pink trees hanging with crystals in it.

Menu is till the same for the time being. It will change. Mai the server is still there but some of the other servers no longer are.

I do hope the bring back Dim Sum. We really miss it. We will wait and see.

Started off with the complimentary spicy, sour soup.  Then onto Garlic Shrimp with special soft, round noodles. Made like the lobster dish but Mai didn't recommend the lobster today.  Nice thing about having servers that like you. They will let you know if something is not up to snuff that day.

A dish of garlic sauteed scallops and orange beef were our other selections. Scallops were great. The beef was good but not quite the caliber it was last time.

I brought a 2013 Beringer, Napa, Quantum, A red wine blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Cab Franc, Malbec and Petite Syrah.. Hence the name Quantum because of the 5 grapes. It was very dark, big mouth feel, a bit of a zing to it. A nice wine.

The other two wines were a 2013 Acacia, Carneros, Pinot Noir and a 2016 Angeline, Reserve Pinot Noir.  These two wines balanced out the Quantum.

So we will see what happens in the next few weeks with the Seafood Palace. Do not know if there will be a name change,  or big menu change. Always wonder when a "chain" comes in. Granted they only own  a few other restaurants but the banner said something about "Diamond" group.. This place is so convenient for everyone to get too. Don't have to fight that traffic in Little Saigon.
