211 York

an appetizer as appealing as it is unusual. four tender scallops, each dipped in delicate beignet batter and bathed in tantalizingly sweet-tart soy-vinegar sauce.

the gorgeous colors that greet your eye are matched by flavors that are somehow mix comfort food and elegance, all at once.

late diners often call ahead to reserve their order, because these are so popular with regular 211 customers. jumbo lump crab, jumbo crab, and claw meat sauteed in a lemon-white wine sauce.

sauteed shrimp, lightly seasoned with cajun spices, served in a slightly creamy red sauce of diced fresh tomatoes, diced roasted red peppers, and a touch of garlic.

for aficionados, this is a must try. crisply roasted and served with a honey-vinegar sauce and red cabbage that work together just perfectly with the fowl.

dusted with cocoa and edged with whipped cream.

draped with wonderfully tart lemon curd.
