Tapas at Enso at the Epicentre
Current Issue, Featured — By Sue Bartlett on October 4, 2010 at 6:40 pmLocation: 210 E. Trade St. (in the Epicenter).
First impression: Elegant. Stylish. A restaurant fit for a very special occasion.
Waitstaff: Warm and welcoming. Well-trained in the art of making the guest feel special. Knowledgeable.
Wine list: Extensive and unusual.
Cuisine: Asian fusion.
Group choices: Asian barbecued grouper bites (panko breaded and perfectly flash-fried; sauce did not overpower the delicate fish); jumbo lump-crab spring rolls (creamy and packed with crab); green curry beef yakitori (spicy without being painful); kalbi lettuce wraps (meltingly tender beef, tiny edible nasturtiums – a dish both beautiful and delicious); Chilean sea bass sashimi (unusual presentation, but flavorful).
Most unusual menu item: Duck egg rolls.
Overall impression: Presentation was impeccable! This cuisine is perfectly suited for small-plate dining. Takes Asian fusion to a new level.
