NYC Tastes

I took the short train ride up to Yonkers last week to meet my friend and have a nice RW dinner.   X2O is right on the Hudson River and the large windows along the building sides make for an absolutely lovely setting at sunset.   To begin I started with a special Spicy Tuna Roll. I was happy this was the special since the RW roll was tempura and I really wasn’t feeling fried food.   The roll was great.   The fish was obviously very fresh, the avocado was perfectly ripe and although it was a tad oversized I really enjoyed it.   My friend ordered the Roasted Fennel Soup with Crispy Sage and Pumpkin Seed Oil. I personally HATE the bitter taste of fennel so I was excited to see if roasting would mellow that out.You know what- it completely did and added a subtle sweetness that was wonderful! I may be trying to make this at home it was so good. For entrée I had the Honey and Sake Marinated Chatham Cod with Fregola Sardi, Apples and Wilted Arugula. ...
