The lost art of the business lunch isn’t lost at all at Rick Moonen’s RM Seafood, the signature restaurant at the Shoppes at Mandalay Place. The three-course prix fixe lunch menu is a classic experience built with enough flexibility to allow Moonen’s dedication to fresh, sustainable seafood to shine through. And RM’s bustling bistro setting is the ideal environment to close the deal, conveniently located near the Mandalay Place valet, which remains free of charge.
Rich New England clam chowder, Maryland blue crab cakes and wok-seared edamame are among the first course options, but the one that can’t be skipped is tender grilled octopus with fingerling potatoes and Meyer lemon aioli, a memorable assortment of flavors and textures in one tremendous dish. For the main attraction, choose between spicy cioppino fra diavolo, sweet Maine lobster rolls and curry-spiced True North salmon, or let the kitchen prepare its fresh catch of the day. For dessert, keep Key Lime pie or tiramisu all to yourself, or play Moonen’s infamous ice cream tasting game with 16 different flavors ice cream, sorbet and ice milk. Call it the most fun team-building exercise your office will ever try.
RM Seafood at the Shoppes at Mandalay Place, 702-632-7600; daily 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m.
