Yesterday Pamela & I got lunch at Blue Water Grill, since I was really craving oysters. It happened to be Restaurant Week, & I was tempted by the prix fixe menu, & so I only got two oysters. A shame; I should have stuck to my guns, because I thought their Restaurant Week menu was pretty weak. Pamela & I ordered very similarly-- the fried oysters salad with endive & arugula with a ginger peach chutney was pretty good, but you know-- bitter greens & fried foods. The main course of fried soft shell crab with ciabatta croutons on a bed of pickled cucumbers, asparagus & peppers was too, too pepper-y for my taste, & also...fried. I mean-- if the only things on your menu that stand out are fried, then that is a bad sign, I think. We shared the crème brûlée tart with peach sorbet & milk chocolate crunch bar with cherry ice cream & both were adequate but not enough to stand up & take notice. So yeah, I wish I'd gone with my gut-- pun intended-- & just gotten a mess of oysters. Regrets, I've had a few. Then home for Television Night!
