Eurasia - Dinner Review

Review – Eurasia

Tuesday night my book club met for dinner at Eurasia. The book this month was The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Great book by the way! There were 11 of us at dinner and I was thrilled that they offered to do separate checks for us right off the bat, we were off to a great start!

The wine menu for both red and white was quite extensive and looked promising. It had my favorite wine by the bottle, The Prisoner, by Orrin Swift which always puts me in a favorable frame of mind! We opted to go with wines by the glass due to the separate checks. I ordered a malbec that was smooth and perfect for a snowy night.

The specials sounded very good a lamb steak and duck, but I opted to choose some items from the menu. I got the Goat Cheese salad that I really enjoyed, the goat cheese was a fried croquette. The dressing was good – but the candied nuts didn’t really pair with the rest of the salad. But I picked over them and ate all of the rest of it!

I decided to order an appetizer and some sides as my dinner. I chose the fried shrimp with Asian Slaw, the goat cheese risotto (my husband hates goat cheese – so when I get a chance to have it – I go for it!), and the brocholetti side. The fried shrimp were great – plump and crispy and I really enjoyed the Asian slaw. The risotto was done well, the rice was perfect. The brocholetti was a bit disappointing. For $5 there was a small pile of greens and not a lot of flavor.

Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. Some ordered the chicken entrée, the clam appetizers, the oyster appetizers, the lobster mac and cheese, the hot and sour soup. Everyone was nodding and happy. We were all too full for dessert.

I would definitely go back and try this place again and go for a full entrée.
