The wine list has been chosen for the foods available and included nice new and old world options.īelieve it or not….we had dessert! I had to try the fudge brownie with chocolate malt ice cream with spiced caramel popcorn….delicious and paired with a Pedro Ximenez Sherry, it was perfect. Our second choice was a very nice French Burgundy. Once again….you must try wines from this region if you see them on the menu….slight effervescence, low alcohol and wonderful flavors of red fruit. Wines for the night were a very nice Spanish Granache Rosé from the Basque region. A word about the snapper….you must get this dish if it’s on the menu! Even though it wasn’t my choice it gets the nod for the best of the bunch.

We also sampled the redfish on the half shell…grilled skin and scales on, duck fat poached amberjack, grilled pompano, and the crispy whole lane snapper. Followed this with the smoked fish hushpuppies and the grilled oysters.įor mains I had the seared blackfin tuna…perfectly cooked rare. This offering came with mint and cilantro relish and a lime vinaigrette.
