| Finally, a fresh new approach to dining comes to the Village of Northport. Seventy-Eight European Fusion (7T8) combines a variety of culinary fare with an American influence. Sounds like this new hot spot has taken the word fusion and turned it on its’ head. Executive Chef and owner Stephen Claussell wanted to create a look and feel that would attract its’ patrons regularly, by always having something new to try. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America’s acclaimed A.C.E. program, Chef Stephen was determined to work at some of the finest restaurants, while honing his culinary chops, with the desire of becoming a restauranteur himself. Mr. Claussen soon began to move up the ranks and became the Chef De Cuisine of the five-star hotel and four-star restaurant, Mark Hotel in New York City. Chef Stephen also held several other Executive Chef positions in Alexandria Virginia and Washington, D.C., before realizing his dream of owning and running his own restaurant. The offerings at Seventy-Eight European Fusion are exciting and unique. For starters, try the “Risotto Croquettes”; Four min croquettes prepared with Arborio rice, Braised Beef, three cheeses, and Demi Fried with horseradish whipped potatoes and Marchand De Vin. Savory and sumptuous! The Mussels Sambuca is something that is a must; a generous bowl of savory broth, filled with succulent mussels, bathing in a broth of Fennel and Butter White Wine Cream Sauce with Chorizo and Lemon and Garlic Crostini. Umm, so good! Salads are pretty much standard fare with a couple of soups to choose from as well. For me, the entrees look so amazing, I recommend that you get the dishes that you want with your partner, split them up and share. Otherwise, you’re going to be looking at you dining partners dish, hoping to get a bite. If you are going to split your entrees, definitely do a pasta with fish or meat. Here’s what I recommend. “Mushroom and Pork Ravioli”; delicate morsels of tender pork stuffed into a House Made Black Pepper Pasta in a Grana Cheese, Tomato, and Roasted Pepper Cream Sauce. A perfect complement with this dish “Blackened Wild Salmon”; A moist and buttery cut, Pan Seared and served with Roasted Fingerling Potatoes tossed in Herbs, Grana Cheese, in a Garlic infused Olive Oil Sauce, complimented with Broccoli. The finale you ask? Go for the “Cinnamon Sugar Mini Donuts” served with two dipping sauces, Vanilla Mascarpone Crème and Salted Carmel. Ah yes, the “Frangelico Crème Brulee”, another great choice made with Espresso Whipped Cream, Sweet Custard and Fresh Berries. Fantastico!! Romantic, cool and cutting edge is the only way to describe this welcomed addition to the beautiful village of Northport.
