Thom Thom is a steak and seafood restaurant providing classic favorites with a modern twist, including a unique sushi bar menu. The casual atmosphere of the NYC themed dining room is inviting and comfortable. For an even MORE low-key experience, you can opt to sit in the enclosed bar section. Instead of the traditional bread, warm pita is served at the beginning of each meal along with humus and a scrumptious yogurt based dipping sauce. For my entree, I decided to order the "Surf and Turf Roll," which consists of shrimp tempura and asparagus topped with grilled filet mignon, scallions and a drizzle of steak sauce.
The filet was cooked medium rare and the flavors were a powerful (but not overpowering) combination. I loved it! One of my guests selected Thom Thom Paella which included jumbo wild shrimps, diver scallops, calamari, chicken, mussels and chorizo. I sampled the dish. It was tasty, but served lukewarm rather than piping hot. The presentation was a bit of a mess. However, I could tell the fish and chicken was fine quality. My guest was disappointed in the flavoring of the dish overall and would probably not order it again.
We also sampled the Clay Oven Roasted All Natural Chicken served with asparagus, scallion potato cake and a chicken demi glaze. It was satisfying, but the chicken was a bit bland for my taste and there was nothing terribly unique about the dish... highly forgettable.
What the entrees lack in flavor and pizazz, the sushi menu and small plates menu make up for. The Flatbread Goat Cheese Pizza is DELISH! Thom Thom receives 3.5 out of 5 Mints on the Dinner Mint scale.
