Smoke On The Water
Cocktails
Fried Oysters With Slivers of Pickled Baby Vidalia Onion
The dusting of spices and salt add just the right light touch of flavor. The remoulade was quite nice, too. But, we didn’t need it.
Bites To Start
Fish & Farm
Fish & Chips
Two Words: Ridiculously Good
If there’s a way to make this dish any more perfect, we sure can’t think of it.
Salads & Sandwiches
The Lobster Roll
It might not be as prettily prepared as the last one. But, it was equally delicious. Every morsel of lobster was meltingly tender and bursting with the flavor of sweet, super fresh lobster.
So tender, it just succumbs to the lightest bite.
Corn Milk Hushpuppies “Beignet Style”
We’re still not in love with the powdered sugar. These were significanly denser than the ones eaten on a previous visit. These didn’t live up to our memory. And yet, they were still pretty decent.
Corn Milk Hushpuppies (Previous Visit)
These were much puffier, lighter, and more enjoyable to eat.
Meyer Lemon Cake With Sugar-Glazed Rosemary Almond Slivers
& Blackberries
The sweet lemon cakes had the lightest scent of anise… or was it fennel? Either way, this was a lovely sweet.
Plump Blackberries Added The Magic
Sweet, tart and fresh, what a finish!
Fig Tart With Brown Butter Ice Cream
This is a marriage made in heaven.
Too Perfect For Words
Simply put, there are no words to describe our pleasure with this dish.
Dessert pefection? This just might be it.
This was the still before the storm.
