While visiting guests will still find familiarity in such entrees as
a steak-and-shrimp combo and the live Maine lobster, they may need translation
help with the miso-and-tarragon seafood scampi pasta and the
sesame-soy-and-mirin-enhanced broiled Hamakua and wild mushrooms, which are
playfully presented in crispy wonton spoons.
One of Priester's latest menu additions features a spicy tuna tartare Caesar
salad, which is topped with a lime-anchovy dressing and served with curry crostini. "It's tropical Thai," said Priester. "The combination of flavors
works well."
Never shy when it comes to playing with a melange of herbs and spices,
Priester's lamb trio offers a spectrum of flavors, from Southern-style
barbecue to Thai to Mediterranean, all on one platter. And while lamb chops
aren't a rarity among other restaurants, rarely — if ever — will you see lamb
T-Bone or Denver mini spareribs on other menus.
