Tanzy Unveils Fresh New Menu w/ Delicious New Brunch, Lunch, Dinner & Dessert Items Be the First to Enjoy New Garden-Fresh Modern Italian Dishes by Award-Winning Chef Sherry Yard w/ Garden-to-Glass Cocktail, Wine & Beer Program by Executive Bartender/Corporate Sommelier Adam Seger
The evening began with a nice sprakling wine and warm Focaccia with Grissini. This was followed up with their Tuna Crudo, Yellowtail Crudo and Wedge Salad - as you can see in our photos, all well presented and quite flavorful. We were then served some of their pasta dishes, Spinach-Ricotta Gnudi (roasted mushrooms, basil pesto, gorgonzola cream, grana padano) and Beet Agnolotti (mascarpone-potato filling, poppy seed, black winter truffle, parmesan). My wife favored thge Spinach while I favored the Beet dish. The entrees they brought out were Black Grouper Puttanesca, Pressed Chicken Mattone (creamy polenta, grilled trumpet mushrooms, blood orange gastrique) and Cowboy Cut Bone-In Ribeye (SDA Choice, Black Angus, Creekstone Farms, Arkansas City, KS, Wet Aged 21+ days). It was hard to decide which was our preferred, but we agreed the Chicken Mattone came out on top. The Grouper and the Rib-eye were close seconds. The grand finale was when they wheeled out the custom made desert cart, selections include Red Infinate Cake, Concord Cake chocolate mousse, chocolate meringue, chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, chocolate sauce, whipped cream) and a Cookie Tower (rainbow cookies, pistachio pavé, coconut macaroons, flourless brownies, tea cakes, farmers market strawberries, farmers market grapes). The macaroons were amazing. They also offer desserts from the kitchen and house made Italian liqueurs. I expect the rest of the menu would be as flavorful and comforting... A definite place to return too, for dinner alone or followed up with a movie. Be on the lookout for a new location coming soon to Delray. Tanzy Boca Mizner Park: 301 Plaza Real, Boca Raton, FL.

The Bistro Restaurant at the Beautiful Sonesta Hotel, Ft Lauderdale Beach, Comfortable and Elegant
Bistro is the full service restaurant inside the wonderful Sonesta Hotel located on the world famous Fort Lauderdatle strip, on the corner of Sunrise Blvd and A1A. The restaurant is open daily serving breakfast, lunch and a fabulous dinner. Hours are from 6:30AM to 10PM on Monday to Friday and 7AM-10PM on weekends.The service and atmosphere is, shall I say, relaxed and contemporary. The staff is very attentive in the restaurant and you can see the same from the kitchen staff based on the presentation and quality of the food. Bistro is the perfect blend of decor and views - inside and out with its floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It has a beachy-chic look, the full-service restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner recently unveiled its redesigned space with white-washed wood floors and cool blue, leather furnishings and walls.
We had the pleasure of sampling items from the lunch and dinner menu. We started with a Ceasar salad woth a homemade dressing of shaved parmasean, creamy artichoke tapenade and perfect romaine hearts. Add a grilled chick breast and i can only imagine. The Conch Chowder was light and creamy. And the street tacos, skirt steak or Mahi-Mahi, both great options. Lest I forget the fantastic slider appetizer - grass fed beef, chef's spice and bacon onion jam on a light and fresh toasted brioche. (Full Story and Photos)
