Newcomers at Dominique's Kitchen

I take great pleasure in introducing newcomers to Dominique's Kitchen. Amy and Nako are old timers (not age wise) to the restaurant. Everyone has been very busy but we finally managed to find time to get together two weeks ago.

I was in luck this time as they had Mussels! The exciting thing about this is that everyone loves mussels. My regular eating partner who shall remain nameless does not like mussels or oysters. Dominique's mussels are so delicious and the juice is even more so that I am sure you will have the urge to ask for a straw and just sip it all in! This was a great appetizer together with the wonderful Cheese Fondue that can't be topped especially with the garlic fries.


For our entrees, Lisa decided on the Roasted Scottish Salmon served with sauteed kale, black olives, tomato and olive oil emulsion. Bryce had their famous Roasted Chicken in olive oil and garlic fries. You can't go wrong with their chicken and the extra au jus. Amy ordered the Mushroom Risotto. I had forgotten how good that was, with portobello and shitake mushrooms cooked with champagne, cream, garlic and of course parmesan cheese. Next time I will have to get that. Nako and I had the Grilled Prime Ribeye cooked in a brandy green peppercorn reduction. Steaks were cooked to perfection and the sauce was truly delectable.


Everyone was too full for dessert but I didn't want to leave without Lisa and Bryce trying the Baked Alaska. We ordered one to share. It was a hit. How can anyone not admire the presentation of a flambeed dessert and have it equally palatable.


Dominique's Kitchen is still going strong. They are always busy and the reason is quite elementary. Very good food, reasonable prices and good service. What more can you ask for? Dominique's Kitchen is located at 522 S. Pacific Coast Hwy. in Redondo Beach, California. They open at 4 p.m. for dinner every day except Tuesdays.
