Tried out a new restaurant......

We went to a new restaurant last night called Tutti Mare (translated, it means 'fruit of the sea'). We went in thinking it was an Italian restaurant, not knowing the translation at that time. Nice place that wasn't too busy. We looked over the menu and neither of us were extremely keen about the choices of the main platters. So, we did something different and decided to order every one of their sides and try a bunch of different things.

We ended up with:

Lobster-poached asparagus
Risotto with calamari
Gnocchi with some sort of cheese cream sauce
Grilled portobello mushrooms
Some type of creamed peas
Garlic mashed potatoes
Tomato bisque
Lobster ravioli

The definite must-gets were the lobster ravioli, the portobello mushrooms, the garlic mashed potatoes and the asparagus. I liked the peas, but Mrs. Lime thought they were undercooked. Tomato bisque tasted good to me, but Mrs. Lime was so/so on it. I liked the calamari on top of the risotto, but the risotto itself and the gnocchi were just a bit too strong and heavy for our taste.

Overall, it was a really nice restaurant (they had wine lockers for regular customers) and we got to try a lot of different things. The staff was very nice and the manager took time to come by to see if our food was good and invite us back. Maybe next time we'll actually try one of their entrees.
