I'm going here for dinner tomorrow night and I'm excited!  I haven't been to Brabo in many, many years.  

What would you order from this menu?  (The dinner menu specifically.)

I'd go with the Grilled Atlantic Swordfish or the Chicken Pot au Feu. That menu is to die for.

Have a wonderful time!

I agree as well - this menu looks awesome.  I usually mention I can't have any butter and to go light on any olive oil.  Enjoy!!

Why can't you have butter or olive oil?

My dietician has steered us away from butter (smart balance is OK).  I haven't had any butter since before surgery (over a year ago).  I also ask for just a little olive oil (even though it's a healthy fat), since I don't want too many calories coming from oil.  Asking restaurants to go easy on the oil hasn't been an issue.  Thoroughly enjoy your dinner out - it really looks amazing!

Ah, interesting how all plans are different.  I don't do anything to avoid fat and get full fat versions of everything if there's an option.  

I'm looking forward to it.  We're taking an afternoon to walk around and window shop and then we'll enjoy dinner at Brabo when we're finished!

Yum! I'd go tuna tartare or roasted oysters.  Looks delicious, you go to some great restaurants!  :-)

Bigeye Tuna Tartare...that sounds really good and probably the perfect portion size.
