Chef Adam has set a new standard for soft shell crabs! As he explained think BLT with the crispy Crab as the cradle for smiley crisp bacon , tender lettuce and juicy tomatoes. The same creative married a trout with a salmon, laid them united over creamy cauliflower freckled with fresh peas! When halibut is a special there is always someone in my group eagerly awaiting a crisp skin, flakey white , respectfully seasoned fish served nestled with grains. Dessert was a shared double plus serving of white chocolate, chocolate chip mocha ice-cream! A perfect respite is always assured by the warm, kind and professional staff at F1RST!
