Still on the birthday treat streak, Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro it is! Nicely tucked in a row of gastromical gems like Pepperoni, Cafe Iguana, Swiss Butchery and Lana Cakeshop...there's this place called Greenwood. With a seafood store as a front, go in further and there's a quiet, warmly decorated restaurant for dining in. With curtains draping the entrance, you can't quite tell if it's day or night by being in the restaurant, I like that!
Complimentary bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Warm bread's becoming a staple at most of the dining places. It's slightly crumbly and oily though.
Oysters, min 2 per order. Starts from $3/pc
The waiter stood there rattling off their oyster selection for the day and even went on with the vivid descriptions of each other. I, very unabashedly went for something that's easy to pronounce. I already forgot the names of the oysters we ordered. Basically very fresh they are, freshly shucked! Paired with the tabasco sauce, the oysters are extra delicious!
Black Mussels with White wine and garlic
They're fat, juicy and very fresh. I love the white wine and garlic sauce that comes with it. An explosion of the sea in your mouth as I'd put it very figuratively. A must try!
Fish & Chips
Honestly find it ordinary and don't get the fuss about it. Comes either battered or breaded. The batter's light and crunchy, meat's fresh..fries are well, fried. It stops there. I wouldn't call it the star dish of the restaurant. Both the breaded and battered tasted quite the same..maybe the breaded one has more crunch and that's about it.
Portebello Mushroom salad
Disappointing it is with one tough mushroom smothered with cheese and plenty of root vegetables to go with it.
Service is refined yet with a hint of pretence. I dig the glass bottles that are refilled with icewater every now and then, totally completing the "sea" experience...feels quite like a fisherman pouring from a glass bottle! The freshness of the seafood and the cooking doesn't quite agree, would've expected something better from seafood so fresh.
Pricey it is, overhyped it also is..for ambience alone..I doubt I'll be back.
