Report on Cirque Harbor East
I was quite curious about the Cirque Harbor East Dinner Promenade but hadn't heard anything about it, so I was delighted to get this report from Nicole. It sounds like a great evening. ...
Elizabeth- I thought I'd share my thoughts with you on this event held last week 10/3- I am fairly certain I saw a comment in your blog a few weeks back and opinions were requested so here goes:
Overall the evening was a ton of fun- Two seatings were available (6 & 7 PM) with 20 guests per seating. The evening began at Pazo which was a disappointment to say the least- they served an over-ripened fig wrapped in ham that was dull and tasteless alongside their house white wine- also dull. From there the evening was spectacular with an escort on stilts to take the group from place to place- jugglers were performing in the street as well as a contortionist between stops. Lebanese Taverna served hommos, warm pita, tabouleh & shrimp arak martinis and choice of red or white wine- Everything was immensely flavorful and beautifully presented. From there, Oceanaire presented a generous portion of Rockfish & lobster saffron with fingerling potatoes - Very good and spoiled my appetite for Flemmings 12 oz. Prime Rib with creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. Roys rounded the evening off with their signature melting hot dark chocolate souffle served with a Hawaiian coffee.
This was probably more than you wanted to know - but in the end, a great evening with many new friends. I would recommend this event to others, the price ($89) was a bargain.
If I hear that anything like it is being held again, I'll post it here.
