Another great meal at Lazeza's. This was one of the specials last night. It is an 8 ounce filet that was so tender, I could cut it with a butter knife. I ordered mine medium-rare and it was cooked to perfection. What a wonderful medley of flavors. The steak is served on a slice of watermelon with a chipolte raspberry sauce, toasted pine nuts and aspargus.
I was a bit skeptical about the watermelon, but the a bite of steak with a bit of watermelon and the sauce was a taste of pure joy.
The meal came with a wonderful salad of fresh greens, ripe pear, dried cranberries and toasted walnuts with a sweet/tangy poppyseed dressing. Very refreshings and great blend of flavors.
This was a real value at $19.95 compared to other places in town.
The evening was enhanced by live clasical piano music, thanks to a ONU student. Didn't catch his name, but he did a very nice job.
We brought a bottle of Pinot Noir, which made the evening and the meal perfect. I love being able to bring our own wine. We bring what we like and we're not paying double the price, making for a very afforable evening even with dessert, which was fabulous. A wonderful lemon cake embedded with raspberries and a creamy lemon cheesecake-style filling. Truly a mouth full of heaven. It was enough for three of us to split and not feel guilty about the calories.
If you have discovered this gem, you're missing a great opportunity for a wonderful meal. I've asked Sal to provide me with the weekend specials, so that I can post and email them out.
The other special for Friday evening at Lazeza's was a beef meatball kabob with griled eggplant. A friend had this and loved it.
If you haven't tried this place because you're not into middle-eastern food, don't worry, its the best seafood in town as well, pasta, chicken, and lot's of other stuff on the menu and the specials will make it worth your while.
