My daughter and I ate at BlueZoo on Wednesday evening. Mmmmmmmm.
Ordered drinks. She had a Sprite, I had a rumrunner. The rumrunner tasted like Vicks 44. Yuck. I told the waiter and ordered a beer. Now we're OK.
Started with the Hearts of Romaine salad (split without asking). This dish seems so simple, yet it so uncommonly good!
For my entree I had the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass (served over some VERY tasty brown rice). The fish was delectable. It was so flakey the challenge was keeping it on the fork. The glaze has a slight orange/citrus flavor. The only downside was the lump of spinich. Now admittedly I'm no vegetable eater but this was not appealing to the eye, IMO. But still I did try it and it was actually pretty good (it still looked bad and I didn't like the texture, but it was tasty).
My daughter had the Simply Fish (one of their fish of the day entree's). She ordered Covina (I could be off with this name) with warm crabmeat, dijon mustard and chives. This was a very, very tasty fish, not as tender as mine but more texture. Sadly the piece of fish was bad (containing some gristle or tendrils in the heart of the filet. They immediately took it back and gave her the same recipe with the Red Snapper. This too was awesome. So flakey and tasty.
As a side we ordered the Lobster broccoli stuffed chedder cheese potato and this too was AWESOME. My daughter doesn't usually like lobster or baked potatoes and yet she ate at least half of ours!
For desert my daughter chose the Warm Molten Chocolate Cake. We had them replace the peanut ice cream scoop with chocolate...No problem! I'm not a desert eater but I can tell you the plate was licked clean!
LESSON: How a fine dining restaurant reacts to mistakes: My rumrunner was, of course, deleted from our bill. My daughter's first entree was, of course, deleted from the bill. My daughter's second entree was comped with their sincerest apologies (from both the waiter and Maria, the Manager). I tipped 20% on what the full bill would have been plus an additional 5% for excellent service.
BlueZoo is awesome!

I'm so excited to read a good review on BZ!! I was starting to get a little worried about that ADR as lots of folks have been saying the place has been empty lately.
