Lunch in…Delray Beach, City Oyster, American Food, Fresh Seafood, Village by the Sea, South Florida
With such a gorgeous South Florida day, who wants to be indoors, or eat indoors, when you have so many restaurants in Delray, that offer al fresco dining?
We picked City Oyster because of its consistency; a dependable restaurant, offering a relaxed dining atmosphere. It was one of the restaurants that we first visited when we arrived in Delray years ago. Lunch, dinner or a drink at the bar, your pick. For us, it was lunch.
City Oyster is part of the group of restaurants owned by the Big Time Restaurant Group. It is located at 213 E. Atlantic Ave. Tel. 561-272-0220. Website? www.bigtimerestaurants.com.
It is open for lunch Monday through Saturday from 11:30 to 2:30 p.m.
For Dinner the schedule is as follows:
Sunday, 5 until 10 p.m.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, they start serving dinner at 5 until 10 p.m.
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, dinner will start at 5 until 11 p.m.
On Saturday and Sunday City Oyster offers a brunch from 11:30 until 2:30 p.m.
I was delighted to see today on their chalk board, Dogfish 60 Minute IPA, our own Delaware beer. The board will show the Daily Beers on Tap, as well as a list of the oysters available for the day; other daily seafood too.
The bar runs the length of the restaurant.
Today everyone was sitting outside. The tables were closely assembled. As we waited for wine, which by the way it took a little longer than it should have, the gentleman on one side was choking (he got the help needed), on another side the guy sent his food back but then it looked like the same food came back. Go figure. And, the young woman that was savoring her fish tacos started to quietly cry. It was not the food, I know that. I think she got sentimental. The guy with her seemed very nice. Didn’t I tell you the tables were closely assembled?
Thank God our food came out and my attention was directed to my Grilled Mahi Mahi, which was the fish of the day, on a French garden salad. Tomatoes, broccoli, shallots, Mesclum with homemade aioli and a mustard vinaigrette. It was delicious and I really loved the fish.
My husband decided on Blue Point oysters and a side order of Red Bliss Potato Salad.
That was it!! No other excitement or drama….
Talk to you later…have a good one!!
