$30 to Spend on Cajun and Vietnamese Fare

Louisiana crawfish receives a mouthwatering Vietnamese twist at Sea Side Crab House in Eden Center. Before broiling, shellfish is marinated in garlic, ginger, scallions, tangerine juice, lime juice, and fish sauce, creating what City Paper calls "the best tasting crawfish I've had, anywhere." o $15 for $30 to spend on food and non-alcoholic drinks A Subtle Fusion When childhood friends Tom Vo and Danny Nguyen teamed up to open Sea Side, they decided to set their restaurant apart from its predecessors in the southern US by allowing Vietnamese tastes and cooking techniques to shine through on the Cajun menu. The result is a delightful departure from the expected, which has reviewers glowing: "It's a dish of North Carolina soft-shell crab, which is battered, deep-fried, and quickly tossed in a blazing-hot wok with sugar, ginger, scallions, onions, jalapeños, and garlic... the whole thing so tasty, crunchy, and complex that I start to salivate just by thinking about it again." -- Tim Carman, City Paper"Even more exciting are savory coils of conch (imagine escargot on steroids) grilled-to-order and expertly seasoned beneath a hail of diced scallions, garlic, and crushed peanuts. Plunge them into a homemade fish sauce anchored by their mesmerizing ginger-red chile blend for added Asian spice." -- Warren Rojas, Northern Virginia Magazine Limit 1 per customer, additional as gifts o Valid only for dine-in o Excludes alcohol o Not valid on holidays or on Sunday, December 30, 2012 or Sunday, January 6, 2013 o Entire value must be used in a single visit
