Dish Focus on:
Mini maine lobster & shrimp cakes - roasted corn/jalapeno-lemon vinaigrette/lobster nage
These small cakes are full of seafood flavor and leave you wanting more (like the whole plate). Served with fresh sweet corn and a tasty sauce. Not spicy at all.
Indian spiced mini lamb burgers - onion chutney/cumin yogurt sauce/pickled cuke
A perfectly seasoned lamb patty on a warm and toasty bun. The flavors are distinct and mesh well together.
Bluenose bass ceviche - serrano/yellow tomatoes/fried plantain, lotus, tarro & tortilla chips
A beautifully presented dish that not only pleases the palate, but your eyes as well. The chips are crispy and make a great base for the tangy ceviche. A very fun platter to enjoy.
Stawberry-buttermilk panna cotta - strawberry coulis/crispy cinnamon kataifi
A smooth, creamy and light custard, sprinkled with a crunchy topping and served on a bed of strawberry sauce. The crunchy topping contrasts the soft custard nicely. May be a little too much creaminess for one person alone.
Yummmy factor: 5/5
YummmyRambles: Ice cold water is served with fresh cucumber slices instead of the normal lemon wedge - love it! Beautiful flower arrangements around the restaurant and in the restrooms (the ladies' room at least). Cocktails look and taste good. Large couches and booths enable the restaurant to live up to the name: Levende "Lounge." Food served family style, which works the best so that you can try more dishes. Valet or street parking. Nothing to do in immediate area outside the restaurant.
