  Do you know where Mt. Kisco Smokehouse is? Yes, you’re right, it is in Mt. Kisco, where its incredible smoked salmon has made it a popular tri-state destination. A family-run business since 2000, Mt. Kisco Smokehouse smokes and hand slices the highest quality salmon and other fish, including sturgeon, sable, trout, whitefish and shrimp. But luckily for Greenwich, the next generation of the family has opened a retail store in Greenwich. While the seafood is still...

  What more could we ask for? Wonderful company and excellent food. What we shared: Prince Edward Island mussels with smoked chorizo, lemon confit and cilantro, served with grilled, buttery Italian bread, a hint of garlic. The best mussels of any restaurant in town, bar none. Yellow fin tuna crudo with mashed avocado, shaved radish, ginger/soy sugo/ and a rice cracker – a delicious medley of tastes. The special risotto – creamy, with grilled octopus, golden beets and cauliflower....

Even on a rainy and chilly day, Tengda had a great crowd for lunch. Why? Lots of delicious food at reasonable prices. The Japanese Bento Boxes are very popular, and the Ribeye Teriyaki option was excellent, with tender and flavorful steak and fresh and perfectly al dente vegetables. All of the boxes include an Asian salad, rice, California rolls and potstickers ($10 - $14). A new favorite is Chicken, Vegetable and Tofu in Coconut Curry Sauce...

The appetizer menu simply said “Thai Crab Cake,” leading us to expect a few bites. Instead we got two large delicious crab cakes drizzled with a chili crème sauce next to a substantial mesclun salad with papaya and daikon strips as garnish. This dish definitely made for a great lunch. Other appetizer favorites that can make a meal at Tengda: Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps (diced chicken in mild Thai bean paste sauce wrapped in leaves of...

Last night, we limited ourselves on the appetizers and the sushi offerings to sample some of the great dinner entrées. We didn't go wrong. Green Tea rubbed Salmon with mashed potatoes and lobster was incredible. How luxurious to have lobster...

It is hard to resist filling up on the delicious appetizers at Tengda, but you should definitely save some room for the sushi. Tengda features lots of creative and attractively presented sushi and sashimi. You can pig out on the sushi boat for 2, or dine more modestly on the regular rolls, like tuna, California, yellowtail, spicy crab salad, eel/avocado and many more.  We like to sample the special rolls, products of the sushi chef’s creativity....

Chocolate chip or blueberry pancakes, and French Toast with strawberries are perennial favorites.
