The Dining Room At Wolfgang Puck
We had originally planned on eating at Flying Fish. I had made a comment to my husband earlier in the week at home that we were eating at 3 different seafood restaurants and that maybe we should change one of our 3 choices. He decided on skipping Flying Fish as he knew he would end up with the NY Strip there & figured we can get decent steak at home. I planned on eating at Dining Room At Wolfgang Puck as this has been a place we keep making reservations for but always end up not going through with eating there. As we were at SSR, we had no excuses for not going through with it as getting to DTD was easier than dealing with the buses and such.
Now after Splitsville, we both were, um, super cheerful. We checked in at 6:00pm and where told to go upstairs to be seated. We were sat next to the window near the front of the restaurant.

Our server was quick to greet us. He was a bit strange. My husband was wearing a shirt that referenced the lemon grenades from Portal. When the server made a comment about it, I joked about the game. He apparently didn't get it. Opps! He had no idea what Portal was. (Most people that see that shirt & comment have played before)
We passed on getting cocktails as we didn't need them. I had an unsweetened tea while my husband had a diet coke.
On the original menus I had seen online, they had listed duck spring rolls. They weren't on the menu now. As nothing else appetizer wise stood out to me, I skipped on an appetizer & since I didn't get one, my husband skipped too.
Rosemary Bread
Organic Chicken - oven roasted wild mushrooms, honey glazed carrots potato puree with natural rosemary jus
My husband likes his chicken. We do tend to eat a lot of chicken during the week as its always quick to make. He really liked this chicken.
Lobster Maki - a tempura roll with fresh lobster, hass avocado, sweet soy glaze, and spicy masago aioli
I went for something different. I've started liking lobster sushi rolls around Naples so I figured why not try theirs. The roll itself was outstanding. The sweet soy with spicy aioli worked really well with the sweet tender lobster. What I didn't like is that the claws in the back were not deshelled yet fried. I should have looked more closely before I bit into the claw but when I did bite in, I was not happy to find shell in my mouth. I had to pick off all the breading to get the meat out of the shell. Not exactly what I wanted to be doing in a nicer restaurant.
We passed on dessert as we figured we would walk around DTD & I might pick up something from the candy store to eat later at the room.
We enjoyed the restaurant and will eventually go back but it won't be a must do for us.
