My starter was the seared diver scallop with Meyer lemon risotto and white asparagus in shellfish butter sauce. The details didn’t come together for this dish on this evening, but I still like the concept (and longed for the version I had last year). Additionally, on this evening, the broth was just lukewarm and the chewy fried lobster balls tasted like they sat out a little too long before being served. I would much prefer something more delicate that doesn’t hide the taste of the lobster. Like last year, I found the boldly flavorful broth to be overwhelming for the fried lobster balls. We started the evening with the Central Market bonus course. The beverage starts out smooth but tingles at the back of your tongue with a concentrated punch of ginger.ĭid I give too much away by calling a specialty cocktail the highlight of the evening? Well, the rest of the evening wasn’t terrible, but the theme for the night seemed to be “sloppy.” I opted for a peartini (not too sweet and not too tart) and my companion had the taste highlight of the evening, el diablo, a tequila drink mixed with lime juice and ginger.

Wine pairings for the three course meal are available for $30/person, but recalling how buzzed I was after downing three glasses of wine in the course of a little over an hour last year, I dared not to take on that challenge again. My dining companion is one whose sentence I can finish before he even starts, as much as he seems to dislike that little habit. That’s no problem with me, I’m not coming to Restaurant Week for a nice dinner complete with thoughtful conversation. Similar to previous years (and a tradition that will likely continue), Abacus places an hour and half time limit on Restaurant Week reservations in order to maximize the number of patrons served during this charitable time. This year’s menu included more choices for the first and second courses, but the dessert course was a no-choice sampler. The fabric covering on the seats may have traded in passe busy patterns for neutral and airy, but the Restaurant Week menu still presented many of the same selections from the previous year. However, even though I tried Abacus for the first time at Restaurant Week last year, a return visit was in order after the Iron Chef Battle Elk episode and the restaurant’s complete interior remodel following Chef Rathbun’s Iron Chef victory (bye bye 1980’s southwestern booth seating).
