Venturing beyond my typical three-mile radius, I found myself in Boca Raton, drawn to the allure of Corvina, a seafood restaurant with a modern flair. This establishment boasts a plethora of global influences, captivating diners with bold flavors, including influences from Thailand, Italy, Brazil, Japan and many more. There’s even shrimp and grits — a nod to the Low Country.
To start our night, we indulged in well-crafted cocktails—a classic caipirinha and a tantalizing smoked old-fashioned—setting the stage for an impressive dining experience. Our appetites were whetted with flawlessly executed spring rolls, their crisp exterior yielding to reveal succulent shrimp, stealing the spotlight in every bite.
With the guidance of our knowledgeable waiter, we navigated the diverse menu, uncovering culinary treasures. I overcame my hesitation about whole fish and opted for the crispy Thai red snapper. The result was a big win. The snapper had a delicate crunchiness and was topped with a vibrant toasted peanut-cucumber relish. The crab cakes, a testament to the essence of crab, were a simple yet sublime dish, allowing the pristine sweetness of the crustacean to shine.
Finally, we surrendered to the allure of Key lime pie accompanied by refreshing grapefruit sorbet — each spoonful kept us coming back for one more bite.
Amidst Corvina’s modern and sleek ambiance, we chose to dine al fresco, immersing ourselves in the vibrant downtown Boca atmosphere.
The extensive menu caters to every palate, offering an array of appetizers, salads, and sides, from a roasted heirloom beet salad to garlic-coated mushrooms. Plus there are plenty of non-seafood options, ensuring satisfaction for carnivores and seafood aficionados alike.
