All the Supper Club girls got together recently, and this month's choice was
Seviche. I was thrilled to be heading there because I've always wanted to go, but there is not one thing on the menu that I think hubby would eat. :-(
BUT! I went, I savored, and I SO want to go back! As soon as we sat down, they brought out slices of
Blue Dog Bakery Bread and fresh butter. In Louisville, you can never go wrong with Blue Dog bread! I started with the Spinach and Roasted Pear salad. It's described as having seasonal berries, Capriole goat cheese, black walnut, and balsamic mustard dressing ($9). It was delicious! The goat cheese was velvety and the dressing had just the right amount of kick and bite to balance the sweet of the strawberries and pears. I have to say I didn't really notice the walnuts, they were crushed, but that was nice because at least they stick with the salad rather than having to scoop them up separately. One of the girls next to me had the soup special, a chipotle potato soup and gave me a taste. I was pleasantly surprised. I am not a fan of chipotle, but this wasn't over the top smoky. Just enough to give some dimension to the potato, and there was a nice, slow burn of heat at the back of the throat that warmed you up nicely.
For my entree, I decided to try the 3 seviche tasting ($25) so as to get an opportunity to sample the menu. I ordered the Oyster "Bloody Mary" Shooters (Miyagi Oysters, Tomato, Horseradish, Absolut Peppar Vodka), the Tuna Taquitos (Wasabi Lime Mustard, Yuzu, Local Microgreens, Avocado, Bluegrass Soy Sesame Powder), and the Line Caught Ahi Tuna (Sesame, Scallion, Coconut, Ginger). Oh...my...Lord...I am in heaven! The oysters had to be the best I've had. Smooth, buttery, and melt in your mouth. They were served in shot glasses and the liquid surrounding them was essentially a fresh gazpacho. I sipped rather than shot, until the end to get the oyster out of the glass. The taquitos were really mini tacos, but absolutely huge in taste. They were served on a bed of seaweed which was deliciously briny and very mild. The taquitos were the least spicy on the plate, but packed plenty of flavor. The Ahi Tuna was very spicy, but delicate and fresh. I only wished for a spoon to scoop up all the juice I couldn't get out of the saucer. As you can see, the presentation was wonderful and worth every penny. I can't wait to go back!

I still cannot seem to get into the whole raw fish/creatures from the sea thing.
I try. I'm just...a texture person. And, well, that texture just gives me the eebie jeebies.
Lots of people have that problem, but when it comes to fish, the texture is usually buttery. Stay away from the squid/octopus to avoid the rubberiness! Yeesh! :-)
