Another visit, another great meal…

Point Washington Rolls
What’s this? Alligator egg rolls?
Under normal circumstances, we might ignore these. But, it’s beach time. So, we couldn’t resist ordering the alligator rolls for the fun of it. After one taste, we realized we’d do it again, too. These were shockingly good. No dipping sauce was needed … or wanted. We simply nibbled on the flaky little rolls that crumbled delicately under each bite.
The wrapping was pleasantly light, crispy, tender, and flaky. Not at all doughy or overly greasy, the alligator tasso was allowed to shine. We were sorry to see the last bite disappear.
The shrimp were buttery tender.
Crab Cake, Cilantro Basil Pesto Salmon,
& Haricot Verts
This dish stumbled into a bit of poor lighting. At sunset, our bay view was fading fast from our deck table tucked into a cozy corner. One moment, sunset… the next moment almost all of the light was gone.
This crab cake was especially noteworthy. Giant lumps of crab meat were deliciously fresh. Filling our senses with a taste of the sea sweetness, we both wanted more of this.
Lime In Coconut
Our sweet boozy coconut dessert cocktail arrived …accompanied by a light drizzle. But, we weren’t ready to relocate. We were protected from the slight chill and drizzle by an overhanging ledge.
Built in fire provides warmth and light to the bigger tables. As you can see, we weren’t the only ones reluctant to leave the outdoor seating area. In the end, we won. The drizzle faded away to a misty bay breeze.
We loved every second of this busy, fun-filled day …even the drizzle. We’ll remember it all.
