Editorial Review for Gulfstream – by Jennifer Schwartz

The Scene
Sleek, red-leather booths, Asian-inspired lighting fixtures and gleaming teak paneling smack of mid-century chic. But don't let the decor fool you; this chain (an offshoot of Houston's) is laid-back and family-friendly, right down to the $6 kids' menu. Servers are eager to please, describing each dish with equal gusto.

The Food
With a clear focus on high-quality ingredients instead of fussy preparations, the menu is limited to a few straightforward seafood and meat dishes. Salads further the theme, especially a traditional Caesar zinging with anchovies and fresh Reggiano Parmesan. The cedar-plank roasted salmon is a flavorful entree. A great choice is the tuna burger, a well-seasoned patty of ground ahi seared to just-pink perfection that would satisfy even the most die-hard beef lover.

This is the greatest seafood restaurant in Century City. I have been to this restaurant many times for lunch and the service is always exceptional and the food is superb. The cedar plank salmon is fabulous, the scallops are large and expertly prepared, and the fresh fish specials are always delectable and typically served with an herb-butter sauce. I have tried all of their salads, and there isn't one I wouldn't recommend. My favorite is the grilled scallops salad, which includes baby beets, baby turnips, and baby carrots. I have taken clients to lunch and never been disappointed and can occasionally spot a movie/tv stars.

Pros: Great food and service

Cons: In a shopping mall, so access isn't that easy

My friends and I were at the AMC cineplex in Century City to catch a movie when we thought of where we should have dinner. Houston's was crowded, so we headed over to Gulfstream. It was a wise choice. From the time we were seated, the service was wonderful. The server came right to our table, with a bright smile and introduced herself. The food (I had the Hawaiian Rib Eye, medium-well with a baked potato as a side) was very well prepared and the server was very attentive to our beverage refill needs. The ambience was just right, not too loud and not too quiet. The next time I'm in Century City, Gulfstream will definitely be at the top of my list once again.

Pros: Everything.

Cons: Nothing to mention.
