Todric's Lobster Open Ravioli! Great taste and presentation!

I finally had the chance to go back to Todric's and try the Lobster Open ravioli in cognac cream sauce.
The dish was very well presented and had a very rich spicy taste.
The cream sauce was very rich and had an unexpected bit of spiciness to it. I asked the server and was told that there was a bit of cayenne pepper added to the sauce (it was not very spicy,just nicely spiced).
The "ravioli" part of the dish was made of two big sheets of pasta and the cream sauce and large chunks of fresh lobster were placed between that.
The ravioli was very fresh and nicely cooked too.
One part of the dish that surprised me was that there was actually mushrooms in the filling of the ravioli-that went well with the lobster (but was not mentioned on the menu). The mushrooms made the dish seem much more filling!

The server also mentioned that in this dish the chef uses the meat from a one and a half pound lobster,so that was quite substantial.
What was very original was the presentation- the head and tail of the lobster were on the edges of my plate.
There was also the two lobster claws and those were very carefully placed on the edge of the pasta making it look like the whole crustacean was there!
This dish is not something I would order every day as it is quite rich and would be better for a special occasion.
The market price for the lobster ravioli dish today was $38 (also why I could not eat this too often).

Also while at Todric's today I also had the chef's creation appetizer and a pineapple upsidedown cake.
Those will be added to my post soon this weekend!

Todric's Dinner #2 Fresh and Tasty Meal!

A few weeks ago I had the chance to eat at Todric's restaurant again!
The meal, as expected was very fresh and used seasonal ingredients.
This was supposed to be posted a few weeks ago and kind of got behind of updating this blog.
The good news is they still have these items on the menu if you care to go for dinner.
I had the beef short ribs with jasmine rice and some very fresh green beans. The preparation of the ribs was "Asian style" and there did seem to be some soy sauce on the ribs.
The meat on the ribs was very tender and almost fall off the bone. Portion was also quite big and more than I expected. The value for the meal seemed good as I was full after this plate of food and had no room for dessert.
The menu and website for Todric's can be found online at:  http://www.todrics.com/menu-restaurant
There is also the option if eating a daily lunch there and a weekend brunch is also offered on Saturday's and Sunday's.
*I plan on going next weekend for brunch and will report back on my meal.

 Also ordered the soup of the day which was Lobster bisque. The soup was very creamy and rich and had a good lobster taste. All the soups I have tried from Todric's have been quite good so far.

Lobster bisque!

 Guest had the fish of the day-that time it was Grouper served with sweet potato mash and some grilled vegetables. The portion of fish was nicely grilled and was much bigger than guest expected. There was enough for one very hungry person or possibly two people. But seeing as Guest was very hungry the whole plate was eaten (Guest did not have a soup or salad before).
The fish was very fresh (as expected) and nicely cooked, very flaky and easy to eat.
I will most likely get a fish dish on my next visit there.
