Dear fellow dinners and lover’s of great food,
Here is my latest find… Kyma Seafood Grill. The evening started off as wanting a great steak…and it end up being a great night of not only Turf…but Surf!
One of my favorite locations is Johnny’s Bar and Steakhouse in Denver PA, as it makes some of the best steaks in Lancaster County and on occasion you might be able to get an Australian Kobe Beef Steak.
We (my wife and a dear couple friend) decided this was going to be the place to eat, and upon getting there was told it would be an HOUR and HALF…WTF!! Okay…I guess that can be quite extreme, as the place is really, really, good, and everyone and their brothers want to eat there! Should’ve known that if the food is good, the wait is going to be long. The line went out the door and the parking lot was packed. We were told that we could dine upstairs in their newer seafood establishment KYMA’s (Greek for wave) if we like…and the wait time was shorter (45 minutes). We decide maybe turf was not going to be in our foreseeable future that night…so bring on the SURF!
So upstairs we went! To a beautiful ,oceanic type of flair décor restaurant. Very hip w/it’s neon lights and it’s tile floors, leather booths, and big Wave mural. After $40 dollars of drinks (some really good martinis) and some pleasant conversation w/laughs, we were seated.
We started off w/the Mussels…now for those that like them, know that from time to time, you will find a place that will overcook them. They can become quite chewy…like eating an old tire from the junkyard. Not the case here…the mussels type makes the different! The little Prince Edward or sooooo melt in your mouth good, done just right. The next appetizer was a crab, lobster spinach artichoke dip. Okay here’s where they had me at “HELLO”!!! The crab and lobster ratio to other fillers was well…no fillers!!! It might be the best warm dip I’ve ever had! Warm and cheesy, w/just the right amount of artichoke to give it that certain kick and flavor.
I ordered the Kyma/Shrimp Scampi…I just want to say that the seafood is done spot on! Not overcooked, done w/the right seasonings and the freshness makes the differences. My wife order the Porter House steak (upon my request) as I wanted some steak too!! She ate the filet mignon, and I had some of the NY strip…I ended up giving her my lobster tail (South African Lobster – consider to many as the world’s premiere lobster), part of my special of Shrimp ravioli and Shrimp scampi. The steaks by the way are from Johnny’s downstairs and were done to our liking…med rare. No steak sauce needed here!! I would say this is a must try and my suggestion would be go to Kyma’s as the wait time is shorter, and if you want a steak…ask for a Johnny’s menu (insider’s tip).
This is now the best steak/seafood place (opinion only) in Lancaster County.
The evening in a whole was a rather inexpensive evening for a dinner that lasted almost 3 hours. Total bill w/drinks was slightly over $100 for me and my wife!
