\"Short<\/p>\n

Short Rib Pot Pie – oh my!!<\/p>\n

Braised Angus Beef Short Ribs in a rich beef gravy, mushrooms, peas, carrots a layer of mashed potatoes nestled under flaky house made puff pastry crust (18). Is there anything more satisfying on a wintry night?\u00a0 \u00a0 I think not!<\/p>\n

Award-winning culinary entrepreneur Alicia Whitney and Executive Chef Ken McCaskill collaborated to infuse SeaLegs\u2019 offerings with the sweet-and-savory flavors of the season along with a Southern California twist reflecting the casual warmth of the beachside city. The updated Dinner Menu features comforting winter fare designed to reflect the easy-going beachside simplicity diners have come to expect at SeaLegs.<\/p>\n

\"Cast<\/p>\n

Cast Iron Tiger Shrimp – perfectly cooked, plump Tiger Shrimp served sizzling in Meyer lemon garlic butter (18.)<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough our guests are craving richer taste sensations now, they also want the creativity of sampling our diversity of eats, drinks and desserts,\u201d Whitney said. \u201cOur team has worked hard on this menu, and we consider it among our most accessible, tantalizing and inspired.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Grilled<\/p>\n

New to the menu, seafood fans can savor the Pier 39 Seafood Cioppino<\/strong> with tiger shrimp, manila clams, bay scallops and New Zealand green-lipped mussels, or Grilled Mahi Mahi<\/strong> with blue crab fried rice. Diners in the mood for heartier fare can enjoy Steak Frites<\/strong> with savory Napa Cabernet and mushroom pepper sauce, Short Rib Pot Pie, or Balsamic Hangar Steak. Most main entr\u00e9es range between $18 and $38.<\/p>\n

\"stinky-fries-sealegs-wine-bar\"<\/p>\n

Since opening in 2012, SeaLegs\u2019 \u201csnacks\u201d and \u201cshares\u201d offerings have served as its signature dishes. One not to be missed is their irresistible\u00a0Stinky Fries<\/strong> \u2013 three cheese garlic fondue topped with shaved parmesan and truffle oil – a perfect complement to the beer, wine, or cocktail of your choice. Smaller than an entr\u00e9e yet amply filling, these offerings also sport a seasonal update. Prices for most snacks and shares range from $8 to $16.<\/p>\n

\"SeaLegs<\/p>\n

The Napa Cabernet Burger<\/strong> topped with goat cheese, caramelized Cabernet Sauvignon onions roasted tomato steaks, crispy bacon, and roasted garlic vinaigrette continues to be a popular choice, along with the Lobster & Millionaire\u2019s Mac and Cheese<\/strong>. This quintessential comfort food is made with a creamy, rich three-cheese b\u00e9chamel and Spirelli noodles. A mac n’ cheese lover’s foodgasm!<\/p>\n

\"Beet<\/p>\n

Salad lovers, vegetarians, and the strong-willed health and fitness proponents we admire so much are not forgotten. In fact, the beautifully plated Fall\/Winter Salad<\/strong> of winter beets, sliced persimmons, burrata cheese, and a winning bourbon-pistachio vinaigrette was a taste sensation of natural goodness that I will return for \u2014 I just hope they are able to continue sourcing persimmons! The under appreciated persimmon’s vibrant orange color, unique sweet\/tart flavor and crunchiness are a brilliant addition to salads. Enjoy them while you can as they are only in season for a short time during the fall and winter months.<\/p>\n

\"Dinner<\/p>\n

Finally, end the evening on a sweet note with the chilled Flourless Chocolate Cake kissed with raspberry coulis and drizzled with peanut butter caramel, then, sprinkled with peanut butter cup pieces\u00a0\u2014yes, you read that right! Resolutions to diet, be damned! You know what they say, deprivation is damning to diets, so treat yo’ self!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hope your new year is off to a great start. January and the months ahead can seem like a real slog, heightened by cold and dreary weather, so infuse the gray with gaiety, lively music, lovely libations, and comforting cuisine!<\/p>\n
