"In life you can absolutely count on one thing-everything can turn around in one day, in one minute sometimes." This quote says it all for Bottlefish in Brentwood Gardens. Owned by CPK, this upscale fish restaurant did
a complete turnaround during our dining experience tonight. We were seated promptly at our reservation time but did not see a server for about 15 minutes after we sat down. It turns out that there was a mix-up between the hostess and the server, and was really
no one's fault. I was getting annoyed, but Bobby, our amazing server, made things right. We started with the popcorn shrimp with togarashi aioli and chives. Shrimp is lightly fried and heavily delicious! For those of you who don't know, togarashi is very similar
to Sriracha mayo, and yes it's spicy! We also enjoyed the Rhode Island calamari with yummmy Thai chili and Creole mustard sauce. Both sauces were so good that I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. We followed that with an order of grilled Bub and Grandma's
bread. If you haven't tried Bub and Grandma's bread, you are truly missing out. In my book, it's the best bread in the city. It's served in lots of places so try to find it if you can! We also had the tortilla soup with cojita cheese, cilantro, and tortilla
strips. The grilled loch duart (think wild Atlantic) salmon was very tasty as was the lobster Cobb salad. For dessert, don't miss the warm sea salt chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream from Sweet Rose Creamery! Bottlefish 11677 San
