Smorgasbord A view from The Deck
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 6:09 PM
Featuring a variety of fresh seafood dishes, The Deck opened on East Boulevard in Dilworth a few weeks ago. With the large open roof-top patio, The Deck is the perfect name for the restaurant (which used to be Rock 'n' Lobster and before that, Plan B). With blue ocean waves painted along a wall, weathered wood, big windows, and light colors, the restaurant has a casual, beach feel.
The menu features options like Achiote seared Rare Tuna Tacos, oysters, Key West Chicken and Fruit Salad, Lobster Rolls, Peel and Eat Shrimp, healthy "Fish in a Bag" and their daily specials featured on the blackboards change for lunch and dinner.
I tried the the Mahi Mahi Tacos and the Rare Tuna Tacos, which were accompanied with green rice and black beans – a funky contrast of colors on the royal blue plates. Though both were good, I preferred the tuna tacos with the mango salsa. The mahi tacos were a tad fishy and a bit too salty for my liking.
Drinks at The Deck are tasty too -- they press their own sugar cane, make their own sour mix, and juice fresh fruit for all their cocktails. I'd recommend trying the Strawberry Basil Mojito (freshly muddled strawberries and basil mixed with Cachaça, a Brazilian Rum.)
