Come To Daddy: It’s a delicious tequila concoction that is quite pleasing to the eye as well. It’s a refreshing choice for our hot (and humid) days. Slightly tart yet slightly sweet, it felt delicious sliding down my throat. T’afia has a 3 course menu available for lunch on Friday’s. I started off my 1st course with the Lentil soup and the first spoonful in my mouth was a creamy concoction of spices and legumes. It had a hint of cumin in it as well which I always love. Trio of Pomegranate Lamb Chop, Jolie Vue Veal Liver and Braised Pork Belly with a Golden Raisin-Pinenut Chutney: I was hesitant to get this trio due to liver not being even close to my like list, but I wanted to try the lamb out. The lamb was cooked perfectly and each succulent bite made me praise my decision. I also liked the fact there was no mint, I am not a big fan of minty lamb. The pork belly was crispy on the outside and fatty on the inside, it other words, perfect. And just as I suspected, I didn’t care for the liver. The bite at first was decent enough, but I don’t like the somewhat grainy texture and aftertaste that liver gives. For those of you liver lovers, I’m sure you would have loved it.

Seared Ahi Tuna with Spicy Mustard Sauce: The tuna just melted in my mouth! And the spicy mustard made me gasp and tear up, but was delicious on the ahi. Basil Lemon Drop Martini: yum, yum and YUM!
