I was very pleased with room service last night. It was a bit of a wait, but the estimated time I was given (75 minutes was pretty accurate. It arrived in 90 minutes.
I started with the green salad.
It really just has greens so it was well names. They were crisp and crunchy which tells me the salad was fresh made. Perhaps played and then kept in the fridge. It came with a dressing that was the combination of sweet picallil and giardineria (the topping used on Italian Beef). It has good flavor but was a strange dressing since it was hard to coat all the greens.
Next was tortilla soup.
This came in two parts which was a smart choice. The creamy soup came in once bowl. And another had the sliced, crispy tortilla, chicken and cheese. You then added it yourself which kept the chips from getting soggy during transport. The broth has great flavor from tomatoes and also a subtle smokiness, in addition to the warm heat. The broth by itself would make a delicious smoky tomato soup. Combined with the other ingredients made a well composed soup.
I wasn't sure about ordering the grilled salmon but am so glad I did.
It was moist, flaky and flavorful. Simply seasoned with salt and pepper. It has hints of garlic and butter but not overpowering. And it came on some well seasoned smashed potatoes. Just enough salt and butter. It makes me want to eat at Oceana to see how he prepare other seafood
Last course was the spaghetti bolognese.
Again I has a little fear that this might be a gummy mess of overcooked pasta and bland sauce. Instead, the pasta was all dente and the sauce was rich and meaty, without being overly sweet. I had been cravjng a little Italian food and this helped.
