September 30, 2014 - Roy's At Pebble Beach - Pebble Beach, California

I visited with Rose Filicetti and Neal Savage.

We decided to do a mixture of the appetizers for lunch.

We chose one sushi item:

Lakanilau Roll - Seared Kobe Beef wrapped around Dynamite Crab,
Tempura Asparagus & Avocado – we decided on our last pieces to take off the tiny piece of Kobe beef  and try it without the taste of the rest of the sushi piece.

Served with wasabi sauce and ginger slices....I love wasabi sauce and this didn't ...disappoint me...hot...hot...hot!

Dynamic Crusted Scallops in a Sesame Butter Sauce

Crispy Coconut Shrimp in a Chili Sweet and Sour Sauce, Black Bean

Crunchy  Golden Shrimp Dumplings in a Sake-Miso Butter Sauce

This picture is not the best...nor does it show the great presentation because we were so excited when it was served...and it was served first that we started to taste the dumplings before I remembered to take a picture...so this is a picture of the remaining two dumplings.  Five dumplings were served on the plate.

The sauces on each appetizer really made the appetizer as it accented the seafood.

I also ordered a Manchego Cheese Caesar Salad.

Dessert Time - We each choose one and then spoons around.

Rose ordered the Kona Coffee Mud Pie

Neal ordered the Melting Lava Hot Chocolate Cake

Served with a small pitcher of melted milk chocolate. There was  a twenty minute wait for this to be prepared…but we didn’t care….we weren’t in a hurry…plus it gave us time to update all of our tech devices.  It was served with a very large scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and raspberry sorbet.  I don't care for chocolate cakes...but this one was light...and not too gooey and sweet.

I ordered the Tahitian Vanilla Creme Brulee

The crust was perfectly thin and crunchy…. Inside was a creamy, eggy not-too-sweet mixture….perfect…and it was topped with huge blackberries, raspberries and blueberries.  Very good.

Great desserts

Neal and I drank ice water with our meal because we didn't want any interference with the tastes.

Rose ordered a Mojito
