Currents is a restaurant previously located near the hospitals down townish, but is now located just off Broadway/I-69 north of Grande. They are a locally owned and operated place and have been serving Tyler for 17 years. The new place is far superior to the old. The old was a little dank and dingy, the new place is bright and cozy. They have a bunch of art (that you can buy) decorating the walls that really added to the ambience.
The spread: They serve a self described French and American style cuisine. The menu is definitely unique to Tyler, you won't find many of the dishes here anywhere else in Tyler. The entrees range from Salmon Provencal style (salmon with vegetables), beef burgandy, steak, Mediterranean chicken, ribeye, grilled tilapia, seabass, duck, veal, etc. They also offer several unique salads and the appetizers include crabcakes, shrimp remoulade, goat cheese puff pastry.
The verdict: This is a great place unique to Tyler. The owner is almost always on hand and cares deeply about his food, his menu and his guests. There is a real chef in the kitchen. On my most recent visit, our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly and provided top notch service. The goat cheese puff pastry is delicious and one of a kind. The lobster bisque was lovely. My wife's french onion soup was the best I have tasted. I had the steak au Poivre (steak with pepper crust) and it was the best steak I have had in a restaurant in Tyler. We ended with a chocolate creme brulee and a regular creme brulee which were simple and wonderful. I am looking forward to going back and really exploring their menu.
Edible Tyler Roses: 5 out of 5, go try out one of the best places in Tyler.
