About the Business:
NERAI offers the freshest seafood flown in daily — Lavraki from Greece, Mediterranean Dorado, Black Tiger shrimp from the Pacific, Live Langoustine from Scotland, Fagri from Greece and Live Lobster from Maine. All of the seafood is prepared to the guest’s specifications, any of which can be accompanied by a choice of interesting sides. Highlights of the composed mains, are carefully thought out entrées. Their Norwegian Cod is a delicious and lighter spin on “Bakaliaros.” It is pan-seared for a crisp skin, topped with orange-ouzo glaze, and served with delicate skordalia wrapped in beets, to resemble sushi rolls. The Short Rib Youvetsi is masterfully long-braised beef, slow cooked orzo blended with a graceful tomato confit, offering a refined version of the traditional stew. The Lobster Orzotto is one pound of butter poached lobster, paired with slowly simmered orzo in a saffron lobster bisque, a sophisticated version of traditional “Lobster Kritharotto”. The menu honors the recipes, while raising the bar with craftily contemporary versions of the traditional.
