Atrio: Amuse: Pecan Cream Cheese Hummus w/ Shitake Mushroom.



It you tasted this hummus you just wouldn't believe how the seasame & pecan flavors went so well together. Mixed with cream cheese for a more creamy texture of perfection this was great on a crusty french crustiini.

Atrio: Amuse: Chilean Sea Bass Tataki w/ Watermelon Slaw & Crispy Wonton.

Another old pic :)

Seabass I took, wrapped in seaweed. Topped with a slaw of purple cabbage, yellow tomatoes, watermelon, and carrot in a sweet and spicy mayonaise sauce garnished with fried wonton strips, awesome combo.

Atrio: Amuse: Cucumber & Rice Sushi Roulade W/ Chili Tofu & Mango



A refreshing twist with a crunch. Cucumber and mango, great summer treat, and spiced up with chili tofu that was marinated in chili oils, paste and ground spices. And of course mango is there for the sweetness and to keep it all in balance. And for an extra punch, wasabi Sweet Chili Aoili with hint of sweet ginger... excellent and fun :)
