Lobster Lust

It was the first day of the Lobster Lust promotion, so we decided to go all lobster.

Heavy-on-the-Lobster Cakes: rich bites of lobster in these cakes, pan-fried in a panko crust served with chipotle mayo on the side for a bit of heat. (J) The mayo was really tasty. (S) We wanted to use that mayo on everything.

Grapefruit Juice: freshly squeezed. (J) It was freshly squeezed; with pulp and some small seeds. Good sourness and fat-burning properties. (S) Sometimes I like pamplemousse.

Canyon Burger with Lobster: Hearty 7 oz burger topped with fresh avocado, and a mixture of lobster, onion, pickles, chives & mayo, finished with tomato, lettuce and fries. (J) It tasted like a burger with mayo on it. The mayo also cooled the burger down. The fries were really good; salty and extremely thin. (S) I like burgers; this one hit the spot for me, lobster or no lobster. The fries were super salty goodness with the mayo from the lobster cakes.

Truffled Deep Seafood Salad: Poached lobster, black tiger shrimp and grilled calamari with crisp lettuce and grape tomatoes, dressed with white truffle and lemon vinaigrette. (J) Lots of seafood. This was the only dish where I could really see and taste lobster. I liked how the calamari wasn't tough or chewy. (S) Yes, calamari was delicious. Very refreshing and tasty.

Mango Mousse: birthday cake from a Chinese bakery. (J) I liked the layer of cake under the mousse, which made it more substantial. (S) Vincent cut the slices into such huge portions so almost everyone had to share, lol. Good stuff though, *drools...cake...
