(由 Google 翻译)去年夏天,Magical Dining 的菜单发布时,我仔细研究了每一份,Bites & Bubbles 轻而易举地跻身前六。我之前从未去过,所以终于有机会去体验一下,我感到格外兴奋。
餐厅的氛围非常棒。我大步走过温馨私密的餐厅,拾级而上,来到一个时尚的小型屋顶露台用餐区。餐桌之间间隔开,私密性极佳,可以欣赏到 Mills 50 街区的美景,宽大的屋顶还能遮阳挡雨。我非常喜欢这里的氛围。
服务也很棒。我们的服务员非常细心周到,我们吃了几口就过来问好,还不停地送饮料,服务简直太棒了。一点问题都没有。
现在来说说菜品。菜单看起来棒极了,而且确实很美味。
小食
炸山羊奶酪(面包糠杏仁脆皮山羊奶酪、烤番茄、水果莎莎酱、热面包)。裹着羊肉的面包屑无可挑剔,酥脆可口。表面的烤番茄酱酸甜适中,与羊肉的酸味完美融合。完美搭配。非常精致的一道菜。超级喜欢。
蜗牛(蜗牛、白兰地芥末奶油酱、大蒜。蜗牛……我们家的)。毫无疑问,这是我见过蜗牛数量最多的一道菜。真是慷慨!奶油酱的蒜香浓郁,配上面包一起蘸着吃非常美味。装饰性的贝壳也是一种非常有趣的吃法,先用眼睛欣赏。
主菜
海鲜魔鬼(自制墨鱼汁宽面、虾、海湾扇贝、贻贝、辣番茄蒜酱、面包)。哇,这些面条好宽啊!至少有一英寸宽。太有意思了。大虾烹制得恰到好处,海湾扇贝份量十足,贻贝烹制得恰到好处,还有一只出乎意料的额外蛤蜊。酱汁辛辣,但不会太辣,美味可口,所以如果你怕辣,也不用担心。
油封鸭(油封鸭腿和鸭腿,乡村馅料,鸭肉汁,土豆泥,蔓越莓酱)。感恩节大餐,但蛋白质含量大幅提升。鸭肉去骨,馅料饱满鲜美,土豆泥美味,酸甜适中,让这道菜充满怀旧气息。
甜点
酸橙派(传统酸橙派,配鲜奶油)。很棒的酸橙派。酸甜适中,所以我猜是用真正的酸橙做的。薄脆饼皮口感不错,略带嚼劲。绝对的美味。
提拉米苏(意式浓缩咖啡手指饼干,香甜顺滑的马斯卡彭奶酪,可可粉)。总体来说还不错。手指饼干浸泡得软到几乎感觉不到。甜味和浓郁的可可香味。还行,不算特别好,但可能比普通的软糖蛋糕好太多了。
总的来说,这是我本季第二次光顾Magic Dining餐厅,而且到目前为止,它赢得了最佳餐点的称号。我真的很惊喜,以后还会再来的!

When the Magical Dining menus came out this past summer, I vetted every single one of them, and Bites & Bubbles easily was in the top six of menus. I had never been before, so I was doubley excited about finally getting to check the place out.
Ambiance was very nice. I strode past the cozy, intimate dining room, and went up the stairs to a snazzy little rooftop dining patio. Tables spaced apart to give you plenty of privacy, a nice view out over the Mills 50 area, and a large covered roof to shield you from sun and rain. I really enjoyed the ambiance.
Service was excellent. Our guy was incredibly attentive, checked in after we had a few bites, kept the drinks coming, just awesome service. No issues there.
Now for the food. The menu looked like a banger, and it Was a banger.
Apps
Fried Goat Cheese (panko and almond crusted goat cheese, roasted tomatoes, fruit salsa, warm bread). Breading around the goat was impeccable with a very satisfying crunch. The roasted tomato goo on top was very acidic to balance out the very tangy goat. Perfectly paired. Very refined app. Big fan.
Escargot (escargot, brandy mustard crème sauce, garlic. escargot… our way). Hands down the most snails I have ever seen in an escargot dish. Very generous! The creme sauce was wonderfully garlicky and was excellent to sop up with the bread on the table. The decorative shells were also a really fun way to eat with your eyes first.
Mains
Seafood Diablo (homemade squid ink pappardelle pasta, shrimp, bay scallops, mussels, spicy tomato garlic sauce, bread). Wow, these were some wide noodles! At least an inch wide. Very fun. Huge shrimp were cooked well, plentiful bay scallops, well cooked mussels, and a bonus clam I wasn't expecting. The sauce was zingy, but not too spicy, just delicious, so don't worry, if you're afraid of spicy.
Duck Confit (confit duck leg & thigh, country stuffing, duck gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry relish). Thanksgiving dinner, but with a major upgrade at the protein position. Fall off the bone duck, chunky, flavorful stuffing, great mash, and a just-sweet-enough relish to really make this plate pure nostalgia.
Desserts
Key Lime Pie (traditional key lime pie, whipped cream). A great KLP. Not too tart, and not too sweet, so I suspect that real Key Limes were used. A nice little crust with some bite. A real winner.
Tiramisu (espresso lady fingers, sweet & creamy mascarpone, cocoa powder). This was mostly good. The lady fingers were soaked to the point where they were just too soft to barely notice. Sweetness and cocoa powered flavors. Good, not excellent, but probably still way better than the generic fudge cake.
Overall, this was my second Magical Dining restaurant of the season, and it is so far winning the competition for best meal. I was really surprised, and I will be coming back for more!
