Welcome

I had a demanding career back in the day and traveled a lot so needless to say, I would do about anything to avoid cooking. Ironically enough, I really enjoy cooking and especially baking.

Anyway, since my husband and I dined out several times a week and well, we still do, people always wanted my advice on where to eat, what to have, what is the best new hot spot and they wanted details, details, details. I live in a vacation spot so I would also be asked for recommendations on where to take out of town guests and by price range, no less. So this blog is a way for my friends, family and anyone who is interested to read about my latest dining or drinking experiences, mostly in and around south Florida. They might even find a recipe or two on those occasions I actually stay home. Good eating!

Bonefish Grill

Bonefish grill has been around a while and I've always wanted to try it - I got the opportunity over the weekend and I'd like to give it a big thumbs up. I always figured it to be a good restaurant chain (I'm not big on chains but this is among one of the better ones). Thing is, you have to get there early and/or go on a Sunday when they open as they are always packed. Another reason I haven't gone till now; it's always crowded. So we got there early and sat down at a nice booth by the window but within 20 minutes, there wasn't a seat to be had and there was already a wait. I see why. The food is good and very fresh - it smelled wonderful upon going in like herbs and a wood burning oven. They have a great variety of fish and since I eat mostly seafood, this is right up my alley.

I got the special - the wild shrimp Pad Thai and it was excellent. But was very tempted to get the Arctic Charr done on a cedar plank. My husband got the Tokyo style Ahi Tuna with jasmine rice and Asian veggies. The dessert special looked great (Jamaican coconut pie) but I still had those cupcakes at home :-) Oh and lest I forget, I loved the Bonefish Martini which I started with - vodka, cranberry juice and Prosecco (Italian champagne). The price was right for all of this too. We will definitely go back here.
