dinner date. my husband and i went for a date night while on vacation. i made reservations three days ahead of when we were going. we arrived on time and had to wait about 10 minutes for our table. it was a thursday night and thebararea has $2 drinks, so while we waited, i ordered a glass of wine. we were seated in front of the large windows over looking the bay. we had to wait a few minutes for our waiter to greet us, but once he did, he did a fine job. he made appetizer and course suggestions. we had the scallops for an appetizer. scallops are my favorite, and i was extremely disappointed when he brought it out. there were only four very small, thin scallops. they were so small, i thought the chef had taken one large scallop and sliced it into fourths.
the complementary bread and garlic-infused dipping oil was very good. i liked having a choice of white/wheat.
our meals, however, were delicious. our waiter recommended the crab-topped grouper with a citrus buerre blanc sauce. it came with a cucumber-grape tomato salad. it was phenomenal! my husband ordered the rib-eye topped with crabmeat. it was also good. we decided not to have dessert.
if we go back next time, i will try a different appetizer, but get the grouper again!
