Mikado Ryotei - Restaurant Review - Dining Out with Rob Balon - Roving Gourmet

Mikado Ryotei - Restaurant Review - Dining Out with Rob Balon - Roving Gourmet

Let's begin with the Robata or Japanese tapas. These little oak charcoal grilled appetizer sized snacks have their origin in Northern Japan. Largely comprised of seafood, meat and vegetables, these little doodads just rock.

I've tried the grilled Gulf Prawns. Heads on these, so the squeamish beware, with ground miso and crushed pepper. Delicious. Exemplary flavor.

The Fillet of Sea Bass, again oak grilled with mirin and fresh lemon is exquisite. An ethereal flavor, born of the sweetness of the sea. Cannot recommend it highly enough. And finally, the Sea Scallops and shitake mushrooms, served on a skewer. Wonderful taste and riveting presentation.
