Ramona: Tostada de Jaiba (flat, crispy tortilla with crab, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, & lime juice), shrimp acuyo, with peppers, mushrooms, onions, in a white wine sauce, iced tea with lime slices, tres leches cake with chocolate syrup

Jim: Tostada de Ceviche (flat, crispy tortilla with fish, avocado, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, & lime juice), Pescado Empapelado (A fillet of mahi-mahi marinated with their original spices, lime juice, olive oil and sauvignon blanc, with bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions. sealed in aluminum foil and steamed and served with rice and vegetables), iced tea with lime slices, tres leches cake with chocolate syrup

El Siete Mares gets better with every visit. The sauce on Jim's dish was so good, he asked for flour tortillas to sop it up. The fish was steamy and tender and perfectly prepared.

Ramona's shrimp was also perfectly prepared with a hint of spicy flavor. The steamed rice in both dishes was also fluffy and sweet. The vegetables were fresh and just a bit crunchy.

We know, from past experiences, the dessert is too good to share, so we splurged with a slice each. As we scraped up the last of the chocolate sauce, we knew we made the right decision here.

We do not get her often enough, but we are going to try and make it a monthly habit.

-Jim
