Menu Question

FI and I went to our reception venue's tasting yesterday and it was delicious! We've chosen one entree option, but aren't sure about the second.

The first is their "mixed grill" which has roasted sirloin, crab stuffed shrimp, and chicken fiore (all on one plate). We really liked their classic chicken francaise and are thinking of going with that, but I'm not sure if we should do a fish instead. We tried the fish and it was okay, but not as good as the chicken. (We don't have any vegetarians that we know of, but I'm pretty sure they can request another option.)

So what do you ladies think? Is the mixed grill and chicken too much meat or should we go with it since the salmon was mediocre?

    That sounds like a lot of meat.....  also, I'm allergic to shellfish so I wouldn't want my sirloin touching the crabstuffed shrimp, there's that to consider as well

    I would go with the chicken because so many people have shell fish or fish allergies. I also think almost everyone likes Chicken.

    I voted the chicken because I think it has a lot more generalized appeal than the salmon, plus you said you really liked it.  However, I think it's also important to know your guests - will anyone even like salmon?  It's not a favorite in my family, and in fact it's the only fish my FMIL won't eat, so that's also something to consider.

    And going off of what PP said, I would DEFINITELY be making sure they can do allergy plates, because there are quite a few people allergic to shellfish.

    I think you should go with both entrees that you think taste good. Of thy have any dietary concerns, I'm sure they'll address those to you.

    I voted for the second plate option of chicken. It will appeal to more people than salmon, and tastes better.

    I voted for the chicken, but that's because I don't like seafood
