I’ll keep it simple and say all three were super solid meals and I would say worth the RW lunch price.
Shaws (eat in the oyster bar): seafood gumbo I could’ve eaten a whole cauldron of it, I had the horseradish crusted fish that was very tender and crunchy with an awesome bright tangy sauce, my friend who had the shrimp fettuccine said her dish was great. Mini desserts were mini-ing like they never mini-ed before but very fresh and tasty.
Petterino’s: octopus appetizer was perfectly cooked but I just needed a bit more salt to it, the branzino was so light and bright with a bit of a crust from the pan, the cardamom-pear pana cotta was also a perfect size of flavour, texture, and sweetness.
Bar Mar (aaaaaamazing service, like fantastic): Neptune’s pillows were great two small bites, I got the lobster roll that was a buttery pillowy awesomeness (I would’ve liked more citrus/tangy taste to it, I just added the pickled onions from the salad), and the dessert was two small cookies. They were good but eeeh, cookies.
