Ian’s Tropical Grill

May 19, 2016 By Betsy Cohen

 

Ian's Tropical Grill in Stuart, Florida is a hidden gem that must be discovered! A lovely atmosphere and fabulous desserts.

I first heard of Ian’s Tropical Grill several years ago from a friend of mine.  I never got around to going up to Stuart, Florida to give it a try but after tasting their food at the Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival, I knew this had to change.

The restaurant is located in a small shopping center and offers indoor and outdoor seating.  There is a nice vibe to the restaurant and even though it was packed when we arrived, we were still able to hear each other.

The dinner menu is extensive and we tried several of the items.  Favorites were the grilled romaine, fried spinach and grilled octopus.

Yet, we all know what the main event on a Road Trips for Food is dessert and Ian’s Tropical Grill did not disappoint.  The Key Lime Cannoli with mango syrup and raspberry coulis was a refreshing and unusual cannoli combination that worked.  Creme Brulee has always been a favorite dessert for many of us.  The bourbon vanilla bean filling was creamy cool while the burnt sugar topping added just the right crunch.

The Banoffee Pie was not what we expected but sometimes it’s the little surprises that make us smile the most.  The pie sits on a chocolate cookie crust and has a lovely espresso cream accent.  The Misomacallit was an interesting twist on a rice crispie treat.  The dessert consisted of burnt miso rice crispies cut into a rectangle, topped with chocolate ganache with a scoop of chocolate peanut butter ice cream.  We found it to be delightful and the flavors blended together beautifully.

Ironically, the dessert everyone gravitated towards the most was the Housemade Pineapple Ice Cream.  The burst of flavor hit the spot and who can pass on creamy ice cream?  No one from our group.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over. More about me.
