Tucci’s Fire N Coal Pizza
50 Northeast 1st Avenue
Boca Raton, FL 33432
(561) 620-2930

On July3, 2010, we enjoyed the thin crust pizza with arugula. Although there was less cheese on the pizza than in many other establishments, the sauce was very tasty. The arugula was good, but it is better eaten in a salad as the tomato sauce hides the unique flavor of arugula.

We started with a Caesar salad and garlic bread. One salad is more than enough for two people. The garlic bread is different, three pieces of flat bread (pizza without the sauce and cheese)  with garlic and oil.

This is a small restaurant where all ages dine.  There were TV’s with a baseball game. The volume was turned off.

McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant

http://www.mccormickandschmicks.com

Bill McCormick and Doug Schmick founded the company in Portland, Oregan more than 30 years ago.  McCormick & Schmick’s is an upscale or upscale casual dining experience with moderate pricing.  They also have a separate bar area in front.  All major credit cards are accepted and they offer complimentary valet parking.  The dress code can either be business attire as people come there from work or casual to dress casual.  Reservations are encouraged either by phone or online.  Their expertise is fresh seafood so the menu is comprised of what is in season and available fresh that day.  Nothing is frozen.  In addition to seafood, McCormick & Schmick’s serves delicious steak dishes, chicken, pasta and entrée salads.

My husband and I dined at the Boca Raton McCormick & Schmick’s location recently on a Friday night.  We had reservations for 7:00pm so at that time it was not crowded yet.  It was almost completely full within an hour.  We both ordered the seafood special that included salmon, Chilean sea bass, crab cake, asparagus, and rice.  Our dinner even included a crème brule.  The meal was hot and very tasty.  I would highly recommend it to others.  Our service was friendly, prompt, and efficient.  Our waiter did not rush us through the meal and let us relax at our table.  I look forward to going back to McCormicks & Schmick’s soon and will try their other dishes as well.
