Caramelized diver scallops – Tarla Mediterranean Grill

Caramelized diver scallops - Tarla Mediterranean Grill
Shrimp, celery root, wild mushrooms, hearts of palm, asparagus, lemon caper sauce. $23
Tarla Mediterranean Grill, Napa CA

This dish was very interesting. It was on the acidic side and had a lot of different flavors and textures. My first inclination is to say that it was too busy and too acidic. I wish the scallops were a more prominent flavor, but they kind of got lost amongst everything else.
