- Merrillville Indiana - October 19, 2013
Appetizers Soft Shell Crab & Crab and Cream Cheese Rolls
Entree - Mahi Mahi & Sugar Cane Salmon
Dessert - None!
I enjoyed both the soft shell crab and the crab and cream cheese rolls. The soft shell crab was very good it was very well seasoned. My Sugar Cane Salmon - the sauce was a bit salty for my taste, perhaps it was the soy sauce. Other than that I enjoyed the Salmon. My husband says that his Mahi Mahi was different and very good.
The live jazz band was very nice. Our server was very attentive, prompt and courteous. Having a private room was nice perk - we were even able to close the door when needed!
Overall I give Asparagus 5 stars! Great Pick Yvonne & Chris!

Great pick Yvonne and Chris
I had the crispy roll for my appetizer and the
pineapple/cashew chicken as an entrée, with the cashews on the side. The private
room and the company were on point, even though I had to put-up with Chris.
Over all, I give Asparagus 4 stars.

Great
pick Chris and Yvonne.
I
had the crispy roll for my appetizer and the Red Snapper for my entree. The
presentation on both was outstanding. I really enjoyed the Red Snapper.
The
ambience was great and the Jazz band was an added bonus.

I
had the shrimp rolls for an appetizer. I enjoyed every bite. I had the mojito
halibut steak as an entree. The mojito sauce was a tad bit too sweet for me but
I enjoyed it nonetheless. It was nice to have a private room and background
music. I give this dining experience 4 stars -- well worth the drive to
Merrillville. Lori
Carol had the asparagus
lover with scallops and shrimp combo which she said she enjoyed very much. The
meal had a combination of sauteed shrimp and sea scallops with mixed white and
green asparagus, sea pod and onions in a delicate ginger soy glaze which for
some may have been too sweet but I like sweet and enjoyed the combination. Mike
had the grilled flank steak with two good goose martinis and we also shared a
combination of appetizers the pork meat balls, seafood crispy rolls and spicy
lemongrass beef all very good. The enclosed room made our dining experience
more private allowing us to really enjoy our time together and our waiter's
service was excellent. We give Asparagus 5 *****stars.... Cudo's to Yvonne and
Chris for a wonderful pick and enjoyable evening. Carol and Mike
Val and I shared the Shrimp Roll and the Lobster Mango Roll appetizers and we had the same review on them; the Shrimp Roll & Sauce was excellent, the Lobster Mango was OK the sauce did not do it justice.
Val’s Entrée was Sugar Cane Salmon which she said was to sweet,
but her asparagus was delicious. She loved the intimacy of the room and the roses
from the husbands made it a special occasion. Would have enjoyed the music more if she could
have seen the band.
Harold’s Entrée was the Beef Lovers ? Very tasty I also enjoy
the intimacy of the room, and the band was excellent. Great pick 5**** stars

I had the the spring rolls for my appetizer
which was very good and for dinner I had the pineapple cashew chicken it was
very tasty. I'm glad we got a private room it gave us the opportunity to talk
to each other without screaming across a table. The flowers were very lovely
from the men and of course it was very enjoyable dining with the best dinner
club in the world! I give Asparagus 5***** stars.

Our
outing to Asparagus was superb and I'd like to say thanks again to our hosts,
Chris & Yvonne, for choosing such a wonderful restaurant.
Husband's
- you are simply the best! Thank you for such a wonderful surprise with the
flowers for Sweetest Day.
To
begin, I had a ginger/pear martini at Chris's suggestion which was
"refreshing". I wanted to try something new on this outing so my
appetizer was the signature fish cakes (a combination of sea bass, swordfish
and salmon)....moist, light and delicious. My entree was the stuffed quail and
although this is such a tiny bird, it took a while for my dish to arrive.
Everyone was well into their meals by the time my dish came (I was told the
kitchen made a mistake with the first two they tried to cook and they only had
one left). It was a little under seasoned for my taste but worth the wait. I
paired it with a red wine blend (can't believe my fellow wine heads opted for
martinis all evening)...you missed out! My dessert, double layer Godiva chocolate cake, was DELECTABLE
and was on the house!!!
I'll
give Asparagus 4.5 stars because of the food, the service (MICHAEL -YOU ROCK!!)
and their ability to accommodate a large group with their own private room.
Having the band nearby was a nice touch, but it was nice being able to close
off the room as we do enjoy ourselves. Asparagus definitely warrants a repeat
visit!

ScottWell Dinner Club, not trying to be the last one to respond, but it is great to see that everyone sent in their critique.
Asparagus was a breath of fresh air compared to some of the other restaurants and considering that we missed last month. The ambiance was nice with a touch of jazz playing in the background and a private room is always a plus for me.
The appetizers were excellent we ordered several so there were plenty to share, The Vietnamese spring rolls, The Thai spring rolls, the spicy lemongrass beef, The Pork Meatballs and The Shrimp rolls, WOW What a Treat... The drinks were potent, just the way I like them.
For my entrees I had the Strip (not Skirt) Steak served with creamy garlic potatoes and tempura asparagus excellent flavor... To top it off the server Michael was superb; he was attentive throughout to entire evening. Great pick Vonn & Chris definitely going back.
5*****s
