A friend of mine had raved to me about the Crab Stuffed Tilapia that she had ordered from Peohe's a couple of months ago. Since it was one of the items on their Restaurant Week menu, I had to try it out for myself.
We had made reservations, so were seated pretty quickly. Unfortunately, the service was really slow. Seems that the kitchen wasn't keeping up with the demand. The servers were very attentive, but it was a long wait in between placing our orders and being served each course.
My first course of Lobster Bisque was extremely flavorful. The essence of lobster really came through in the stock used for this. However, I would have preferred the bisque to be creamier. I wonder if they added any cream, other than the little swirl that was drizzled on top. Lobster meat is generally used as a garnish, if at all, in lobster bisque. There was a really generous chunks of lobster meat in the bisque. Gotta love that!
Second course: Crab Stuffed Tilapia! The tilapia was breaded with panko crumbs and, of course, stuff to the max with real crab meat. The fish was moist and well seasoned. I would go back just for this. There was a very generous side of wild rice. I really enjoyed mixing some of the panko crust with the rice. It was yummies.
My biggest disappointment was the crème brûlée. Mainly with the brûlée part. There was only a bit of the burnt sugar crust near the edge. The custard was nice and I loved the macadamian nuts, too bad I didn't get more of the crunchy, sugary crust that makes custard into crème brûlée.
