Which one of these Amandines looks better to you?

First entry, we’ll call it A, is a trout amandine with pasta bordelaise (no description, it’s a ‘special’ that always on the board):
Second, B, is grouper amandine: brown butter, toasted almonds, garlicky baby bok choy:
ETA: restaurants are next door to each other…

A. Also portion size looks way bigger in A!

B and it’s not even close

The sauce on B murders A, but the trout was fresh caught locally…so that bumps up A. I think I like B served with red snapper more than grouper…but it’s close.

The cheese in A’s pasta is not properly mounted leaving it clumpy. Almonds aren’t toasted evenly and the paprika on the rim of the plate looks like it’s pulled straight out of the early 90s. Fish looks pretty good but almandine shouldn’t have fried fish like that. Random unevenly cut parsley with the stems. And that slice of untoasted, unbuttered bread… oof. Gives off extreme hack vibes

They offer A paneed as well, but if you don’t specify it comes fried.

B. And it’s not a hard choice.
Posted on 5/12/22 at 7:16 pm to Gaston
By chance is this from either R&Os or New Orleans food and spirits (A) and (B) station 6?
Posted on 5/12/22 at 7:22 pm to Gaston
B due to brown butter and garlic, very hard combo to beat. I wouldn't turn my nose at A but would prefer the fish prepared differently and served with veg instead. The paprika also makes the dish look like a big deviled egg.

Nope, BSL.
Posted on 5/12/22 at 8:27 pm to Gaston
B, not close for me either.
Posted on 5/12/22 at 9:07 pm to Gaston
If I had to choose then B. But I would devour both. A would look a lot better with pan fried trout and half the amount of almonds on top.
Posted on 5/12/22 at 9:09 pm to Gaston
I want both of them.
Posted on 5/12/22 at 9:12 pm to Gaston
B is a better executed dish. A looks amateur.
They probably both taste fine, though.
