Seafood Nights, held on Tuesdays and Saturdays, are the<br />
restaurant’s most popular evenings. Additional seafood items<br />
enhance the menu on these days, and fish is char-grilled. Waiters<br />
wearing little white sailor hats and tables softly lit by candles<br />
in miniature lanterns complete the marine theme. Meat dishes<br />
remain available for the less nautically inclined, and vegetarians<br />
can make do with starch and vegetable side dishes, which are<br />
ordered separately.<br />
We shared a mixed seafood appetizer platter featuring moist<br />
fish cakes redolent with fresh herbs served with coriander lime<br />
dressing, calamari and shrimp tempura with sweet chilli sauce,<br />
and pan-seared scallops. Other seafood starters on offer include<br />
prawn Caesar salad and hot and sour seafood soup. Appetizers<br />
for meat lovers are also to be had, such as Caesar salad with beef<br />
bacon, chef salad with turkey ham, and sesame chicken salad.<br />
Vegetarian salads and soups are also available.<br />
Tantalizing smells wafted from the nearby semi-open kitchen, and<br />
the ring of a bell announced more delicacies to come. My garlicand<br />
herb marinated tiger prawns with grilled vegetables were<br />
pleasantly fleshy and not overcooked as can so easily happen<br />
with shellfish. I also had a taste of my companions’ main courses:<br />
a flavourful U.S. Angus beef rib eye steak with garlic herb butter<br />
and onion confit, and the delicate flesh of a whole grilled sea<br />
bass. Side dishes were placed on the table for everybody to share<br />
and included creamed spinach, sautéed mushrooms, sautéed<br />
cherry tomatoes, and a large baked potato served with spring<br />
onion, beef bacon, and sour cream.<br />
Other U.S. Angus beef cuts include filet and sirloin. King prawns,<br />
lobster tails, salmon, grouper, and red mullet are also available<br />
on the regular menu, along with veal tenderloin, lamb chops, and<br />
baby chicken, all char-grilled to perfection. Balsamic- and olive oil<br />
marinated grilled calamari, lemon- and herb marinated salmon<br />
filet, pan seared sea bass filet with bell pepper and avocado salsa,<br />
honey- and lime marinated grilled sea scallop, and grilled lobster<br />
tail with garlic parsley butter augment the Seafood Night menu.<br />
Mixed seafood platters for two steal the show.<br />
My dining companions, both regular guests at Breeze, had a<br />
hard time choosing their favourite dish, and I understood their<br />
dilemma: the restaurant’s bill of fare combines the best of both<br />
surf and turf worlds.<br />
Royal Coffee came highly recommended as an alternative to<br />
dessert. The after-dinner drink made of espresso and imported<br />
brandy and topped with a rich, thick layer of sweetened cream<br />
made for a very satisfying digestive. Irish coffee with whiskey and<br />
brown sugar is equally pleasing. Warm apple crumble with vanilla<br />
ice cream, chocolate volcano with chocolate chip ice cream,<br />
banana tempura with ice cream, and seasonal fresh fruit platters<br />
are also to be had.<br />
Breeze is the perfect place for meat- and seafood lovers to<br />
enjoy a romantic dinner in an enchanting garden. Dine Around<br />
