Portuguese Sardines

"They are sardines form Portugal. We pan sear them in brown butter and syrup," said Mario Maniac, executive chef at The Sardine Room. "Then we play that up with fried capers on top."

He said he uses fresh thyme, garlic and freshly squeezed lemon juice. 

House Made Gnocchi

Gnocchi is a type of dumpling. It is pan fried with an arugula puree and shaved pecorino romano, a salty Italian cheese.

Fresh Mixed Greens

This includes tomato, cucumber, radish, red onions and the house vinaigrette. 

Seasonal Soup

Second course:

Fish & Chips

The fish is battered day boat cod served with hand cut fries and house slaw. 

Jerk Chicken

The chicken is marinated in a spicy jerk seasoning, Maniac said, which is complex and includes 10 different spices like cumin, cayenne peppers and smoked paprica.

"We make our own spice and blend," he said. "We take the paste and rub it all over the chicken and let it marinate for three days."

The chicken is organic from Battle Creek, Mich., Maniac said. The dish comes with Jamaican-style red beans and rice.

Bouillabaisse

"That's French. It's a traditional fish stew," said Patrick Long, general manager of Fiamma and Compari's. "It's a pretty intense dish with a lot of seafood."

It includes fish du jour, mussels, prawn and andouille sausage. 

Third course:

Chocolate Mousse and Fresh Berry Parfait

Danish Cheese Cake

"It is a layer of chocolate cake and then a layer of Danish cheese cake," Maniac said. "Then another layer of chocolate cake and then a layer of soft chocolate ganache over the whole cake."

All of the dishes are on the regular menu. The Sardine Room three-course meal will be available starting 4 p.m. every day.
