Thanks to all for the great info regarding St. John dishes--and especially the good eats you can get at the local kiosks for very reasonable prices.
Now for a question at the *other* end of the cuisine price chart. Once night, our company is paying for dinner, with a choice (sign up, first come, first serve) at three different restaurants. I am sure there is no way I can go wrong, but since you have been such a great resource, I thought I might seek your opinions. (Then, as soon as I get off the ferry, I can sign up right away. Nyeh heh heh!!!)
Our restaurant and entre choices are:
1. PARADISO - Choice of: Grilled Local Mahi Mahi, Chicken Breast, Oven Roasted Sirloin of Beef.
2. ASOLARE - Choice of: Lobster and Shrimp Pad Thai, Peanut Chicken, Filet Mignon.
3. ZOZO'S - Duck Tortellini, Chilean Sea Bass, Osso Bucco.
Since I like all cuisines, and since the company is paying (so $ is not a factor!), I am thinking atmosphere may be a major decider, and from what I have read on old postings on this forum, Asolare rates high in that area. Suggestions?
Thanks! Dave in Ohio
Ooops. I left one out:
THE STONE TERRACE RESTAURANT: Choice of: Sautéed Hoisin Marinated Salmon,
Caribbean Jerk-Marinated Chicken Breast, Molasses Rubbed Pork Tenderloin
I think that if you go over some the previous posts, that you would find a few negatives on Asolare. Asolare has a fantastic view at sunset. Outside at Paradiso is a lot nicer than inside. I like that atmosphere. Probably from all that I've heard the best food is at either ZoZo's or Stone Terrace. All my humble opinion on this. I think that if this is a company paid for experience all of the above mentioned restaurants might do their best to serve you.
Dave: My vote is Stone Terrace or ZoZo's...
East Ender & Marie:
