Am going to go to each restaurant you all recommended here. It might take my a year or so, but it is on my bucket list.
Last night we ate at Naca'n. I must start by saying WOW! The ambiance is great. The service, excellent. And the menu, both interesting and impressive.
Two of us started off with their 5 onion soup. Delicious. My husband had oysters on the half shell. He was apprehensive, but they were small and tasty, he said. For salads, two of us had their beet salad and liked it a lot. I had the lettuce wedge. It was TWO lettuce wedges, and although I could not begin to finish it, it was just what I expected and more.
For the main course, my husband had sea bass. He loved the sauce it was served with. I had a strip steak with truffle butter, and our friend had the cowboy rib eye steak with the bone in. Their steaks are imported from Allen Brothers in Chicago. The steaks were nicely seasoned. After being served, waitress stayed to see if they were cooked to our liking, which they were. My husband ate half my steak, because it was simply too big. Our friend ate every bite. We ordered two sides of greek grilled vegetables. They were delicious, although one order would have been enough, since the portions of each course were more than ample. (This is similar to steak houses in the US, such as Ruth Chris. They have huge, shareable portions.)
We could not leave without trying desserts and decided to share. We had chocolate souffle, Gran Marnier souffle, and their specialty, bread pudding. Our friend liked the bread pudding best. My husband and I liked the Gran Marnier souffle. (Both souffle's were served hot with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.)
We drank one bottle of white wine (2,000 peso bottle.) and our friend had 2 vodka and sprite drinks.
At the end of the meal, the chef came by to ask for feedback on the meal. We told him it was the best meal we have had in this country and that I have lived here 15 years and have been to several other fine restaurants in SD. He said he was trained at a culinary school here and by the owner who comes from North Carolina.
Hold on now. The bill came to 27,000 RD and some change. We have spent that much at restaurants before, but never in this country. It was a special experience for us. We did not complain. We will be back again after we hit the other restaurants on your list here in this thread, but maybe not too frequently with a tab like that. Naca'n will be saved for something special.
