Parallax

Par­al­lax is one of Tremon­t’s newest restau­rants. I had the priv­i­lege of eat­ing there this evening. While the prices are up there, the qual­i­ty of the food is worth every pen­ny. Full review past the jump.

I start­ed out with a Sake­ti­ni, which is basi­cal­ly a mar­ti­ni with sake and a lemon twist. It tast­ed like strong lemo­ny sake, if you can believe that. For my appe­tiz­er I had steamed mus­sels in a coconut broth with mixed pep­pers. My main course was grilled sword­fish with Kala­ma­ta olives and roast­ed toma­toes on a bed of creamy risot­to with dou­ble blanched gar­lic. My dessert was vanil­la bread pud­ding with vanil­la ice cream and berry com­pote. It filled me up per­fect­ly and I ate every bite. The wait­staff was help­ful and unob­tru­sive, my food arrived prompt­ly and I got free match­es. Next time I’m going to have to try their sushi, it sounds like it will be out of this world.
