Day 4 of Restaurant Week and my second reservation and it was 60 degrees outside. Day 1 - we have snow and on this day....sun; go figure. This was my third time dining at Ceiba and I can’t say I was overwhelmed by the glorious food.Don’t get me wrong, it was good and I enjoyed my meal but it didn’t knock my socks off. I’m not sure if they were having an off night or maybe I just ordered wrong. We did order two guacamole, we needed two in order to pass the time while we waited for our other dinner companion. She was working and was an hour late arriving.

I really liked my seafood stew; I guess you can equate it to a cioppino. There was so much seafood in there! I couldn’t eat the calamari (I did try it) but wolfed down the lobster, shrimp, and mussels. The broth was almost thick, buttery and so smooth. I’m not sure of the spices but it was really good.
