Outback Steakhouse, Rehoboth Beach, Restaurant, Review, Delaware Beaches…one of those nights

 

IMG_2193

 

I was tired tonight and did not even know what I wanted to eat.  I had already decided that I was not going to write tonight.  Let people read my post earlier today about the Children’s Beach House Golf Challenge.  A worthy cause.

Then, my husband suggested we go to Outback Steakhouse.  This restaurant is, literally, 2 minutes from my house in Rehoboth Beach.  The address is 19917 Sea Blossom Blvd., Tel. is 302-227-4858 and the website is www.outback.com.

The very first time I went to an Outback Steakhouse was with Cindi, Tyler, John and Brandon.  These boys were going to play lacrosse in Australia.  They were in 8th or 9th grade.  Cindi and I thought it would be so cool to take them to an Australian theme restaurant while they were in training in Conneticut.  On and off I have been to Outback restaurants.  Good portions, consistent food and moderate prices.

IMG_2190

No, I did not take pictures of my rib eye or my husband’s fillet.  I am telling you I was not in the mood.  The phone kept ringing and the food came too fast.  At first they took the food back so that we could finish our salad.  Then, it was brought in again.

Then, T.J. came into the picture to ask us how everything was going and to apologize for the rush.  There were not too many people left at that hour and he took the time to speak to us and made us feel comfortable.  He has been working for Outback for 9 years; 3 of those here in Rehoboth Beach.

So, of course, we talked about glutens.  Outback does have a gluten free menu.  We asked him to order gluten free hard cider and beer.  He said the restaurant gets a fair amount of people with gluten allergies.

I want to thank T.J. for being so gracious.  To our waitress, thank you, as well.  Sorry, but I did not have her name.  Their friendly approach is was made me write this post; they made our evening.  Thanks again.

A blog is a diary and even though this evening was not about blogging, well, you know how it is.  I cannot keep my mouth shut.

 

Have a good one…talk to you later….

Crab Bag, Restaurant, Review, Crab House, Ocean City, Maryland, Natty Bohs?, Steamed Crabs, Haven!!

 

IMG_2164

By early afternoon, yesterday, we knew we were going to eat crabs.  Years ago there was a small crab house in Ocean City, Maryland that we loved to go.  As it happens, it was falling all around them.  Anyway, that’s what Nolan, the owner, told me last night.  In the past few years it was rebuilt into one amazing crab house.  You can smell Old Bay seasoning as you approach the restaurant.

The Crab Bag is located at 13005 Coastal Highway, Ocean City, MD.  Tel. is 410-250-3337.  It opens at 9:00 a.m. serving breakfast and even though it is a full crab house, they offer so many other things to eat; seafood, steaks, hamburgers, sandwiches and salads.  Their website is www.occrabbag.com but it is under construction at the moment.  You can still go on it and download their menu.  You can also find them on Facebook.

IMG_2168

I really go there for the crabs.  It has been quite some time since I had been there.  Crabs, at this time of the year, are coming pretty much from Louisiana.  Last night they were offering all you can eat or you could order by the dozen.  I ordered by the dozen; only the biggest ones.  Crabs are also expensive during these months, but every single table was taken at the Crab Bag. 

The Crab Bag has two floors with decks and outdoor dining, as well.  It is February so everyone was indoors.  

IMG_2146

There is nothing better than picking crabs in a crab house.  It is loud, people are hammering away, drinking; a constant chatter.  It is the perfect way to establish conversation.  Your hands are fast working, grabbing those lumps of crab meat.

But then, of course, if you are a true Baltimorean, then there is no better way to accompany those steamed, extra large crabs than with a Natty Boh.  It has to be very cold too.  Frosted glass, the best!!

IMG_2154

Natty Bohs (National Bohemian) is back in Baltimore after a 15 year absence.  Steamed crabs and Natty Bohs define Baltimore.  It has always been a tradition.

IMG_2162

We sat on the second level and that had another full bar but not as many tables.  Mike was our waiter and he was busy.  He was very good; attentive and fast. 

IMG_2147

We started with some steamed clams; middle necks, chargrilled with fresh shallots, celery, green peppers, spices, Parmesan cheese and bacon.  They were tasty and went fast.

IMG_2151

Then our crabs arrived, steaming hot.  Mike asked us if we wanted vinegar, melted butter, and Old Bay.  My answer?  All of the above.

IMG_2150

We dug into the crabs; they were heavy, juicy and sweet!!  Perfection.  To me, there is nothing like the Maryland blue crab.  Not in season?  Then, this is the next best thing.

IMG_2155

Some steamed corn complemented the crabs.  The corn was nice and sweet for this time of the year.  Don’t know where it was coming from, though.

IMG_2158

Nolan, the owner, stopped by to see how everything was.  It really was very good and the service was the best.  No complaints. 

IMG_2160

IMG_2161

We left the Crab Bag, still full of customers enjoying what the Delmarva Peninsula is known for. We told Nolan that we had come to get our crab fix for the week-end.  He in turn told us that there are people that stop by 2 times a week for crabs.  Cannot get enough!!!  I agree because I can’t either.

 

See you later...

See you later...

Talk to you soon….you know I will….

JAM Bistro by Eden, Rehoboth Beach, Restaurant, Review, Delaware Beaches

 

IMG_2067

Last September 9, 2010, I went to dinner with friends to a very popular restaurant in Rehoboth Beach called Eden.  You can read this post if you click on the month of September on the left hand side of this website and scroll down to the date.  On that night I happened to look across the street and saw a new restaurant that I did not know about.  It was JAM; also owned by Eden; recently opened.  A mental note to visit this restaurant some time soon.

Well, it has been more than a few months so on Friday, Linda, Harry, John and I decided to check it out.  I had previously called to find out if they were aware of gluten allergies.  They said yes and to inform the waitress.

JAM is located at 20 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.  Tel. is 302-226-5266.  Website?  www.jambistro.com. It is open Thursdays and Fridays  from 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 11:100 a.m.  E-mail is info@edenrestaurant.com.

Linda and Harry are game to try something new even though at times I see a hesitation when I suggest to go to a new place.  It was pretty funny when a couple of years ago I took them to the Grove Market in Bishopville, MD.  Linda did not know what to think when we arrived.

On Saturday, it was the perfect night to go out.  We needed to catch up.  When the 4 of us get together is non-stop talking and laughter. 

I had no preconceived ideas about JAM.  Did not even read a review; I wanted to see for myself.

A flight down a set of stairs and then you enter to a surprise.  From the outside JAM is so deceiving.  I thought it would be small but it was not.  A large room with tables scattered throughout and tablecloths.  A partition divided a bar with tables set for dinner.  We decided to sit in the larger dining room.  The colors and art were very pretty. 

IMG_2041

IMG_2064

IMG_2062

JAM is a casual restaurant.  We live at the beach; it should be that way. 

IMG_2044

Amy was our waitress and she was very friendly.  Throughout our meal she stopped at the table to see if we needed anything; very unobtrusive.  She let us talk and talk and talk.

At JAM you can order every wine by the glass, but what got rave reviews was the Dirty Martini.  It came just like a dirty martini should; cloudy.

IMG_2048

A few appetizers were ordered:

Crispy smashed firgerlings with smoked bacon and vermont cheddar, Old Bay and tartar sauce.  They were crispy and you could definitely taste the Old Bay.

IMG_2051

Shrimp dumplings, lemongrass broth, green, yuzu/truffle dressing.  Yuzu is a sour Japanese citrus fruit; the rind predominantly used.  Seasoned well with a nice flaky crust.

House made meatballs, tomato gravy and shaved parmesan was another appetizer ordered, but Linda has been perfecting meatballs at home and thought hers were better. 

IMG_2052

I went with the $30 prix fixe menu and I chose the roasted carrot and ginger soup with fried parsnips chips.  It was delicious and I hope I can get the recipe.

IMG_2049

More wine and more dry martinis followed.  Then for our entrees we ordered.

IMG_2061

Grilled Pork Chop and a side of broccolini over mashed potatoes.  It looked beautiful.  Harry said it was delicious; not dry and great gravy.

IMG_2053

Linda had the Pappardelle Bolognese which was a house made pasta with shaved pecorino and olive oil.  I think she liked it but, again, she has been experimenting a lot with her own Bolognese sauce and she thought hers was so good.  She is inviting us to sample her Italian cooking.  A post will be coming soon.

IMG_2054

John and I chose the Grilled Whole Silver Snapper that came over jasmine rice, garlic broccolini and a preserved orange vinaigrette.  Amy suggested we had this entree and it truly was delicious.  It was a white flaky fish with mild flavor; seasoned and cooked to perfection.

IMG_2055

A word of caution.  If you do not like to see a whole fish then don’t order it.  That has never bothered me.  Also if you don’t like the idea of picking thrugh fishbones, then don’t order it either.  You will be missing a great tasting fish, though.

We had to try the desserts and a outrageous dark chocolate brownie was ordered with vanilla bean ice cream, and caramel krispies.  The brownie was dense and sweet, just as it should be.

IMG_2059

My Key Lime Pie was also perfect.  Tart; not too sweet, just the way I like it.

 IMG_2060

Coffee and laughter was the perfect ending to a perfect evening……friends, always there….I love it that way….

Talk to you later…

P.S.  I must be hitting all the restaurants at the right time because to tell you the truth most of them have been good with just a few having bad nights.  I hope that’s what they had.

Colony Hotel, Cabana Club, Delray Beach, Florida, Old Florida, Member of Historic Hotels of America, South Florida, Palm Beach County, Pet Friendly

 

IMG_1867

How many times in the past year have I heard the term”Old Florida”?  Plenty.  Maybe is because we reminisce and wish to recapture that simple, and less hectic lifestyle. 

IMG_1866

Old Florida is a term given to at least 2 generations ago.  It reminds us of “yesteryears” that are quickly vanishing.

Towns, restaurants, and hotels have not been taken over by the development trends of the day; they have kept their own identity.

One of those hotels in Delray Beach is the Colony Hotel.  I actually have never stayed there but have friends that have.  I even had a friend from Bethany Beach that made this hotel his home for a couple of months of the year. 

IMG_1873

The Colony Hotel is located in the heart of Delray Beach; 525 E. Atlantic Ave., tel. 561-276-4123.  Website?  www.thecolonyhotel.com.  It has 70 guestrooms, daily yoga, hotel shops, on site laundry, complimentary parking, high speed wireless, guest computer, and exercise room.  It is also pet friendly.

The Colony Hotel is an independent, family-owned and operated hotel.  It does have a sister hotel in Kennebunkport, Maine.

I have gone by this hotel day and night, plenty of times.  During the day people are enjoying the porch with coffee in hand; at night it is a porch bar, with music and people enjoying their favorite cocktails.

IMG_1869

I decided to go in and check it out.  A few years ago it was painted and given a fresh look.  As I came in I took in all the colors.  This is what Florida is all about; color combinations that bring a smile to your face.  Inside it has a plantation feel; relaxing.

IMG_1868

Unfortunaly, I did not see any of the rooms.  You can check the website for more info.

IMG_1872

The hotel has a Cabana Club about 2 miles away.  If you are on Linton heading east, then right at the intersection of Linton and A1A is the Cabana Club.  The Colony Hotel has van transportation to and from the Cabana Club.  It is a private ocean front beach club with a pool heated by environmentally sensitive geo-thermal.  Lunch is served from 12 to 2:30 p.m. to hotel guests and club members.

The Colony Hotel is a founding member of the “Green” Hotels Association.  Website? www.greenhotels.com.

This hotel is perfect if you do not wish to have a car in Delray, everything is very accessible.

The Colony Hotel has package, group and corporate rates available.

Have a great Presidents Week-End!!!…talk to you later….

Atlantique Cafe, Delray Beach, Florida, Restaurant, Review, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Village by the Sea, Palm Beach County

 

I know breakfast is supposed to give your body the fuel needed to face the rest of the day.  To tell you the truth I don’t find breakfast that exciting.  Well, unless I can have a Rapa Scrapple Sandwich.  I don’t eat too many of those either, though.  You know, trying to lose weight; definitely, that’s not going to help.

Wait a minute.  I guess I should tell you what Scrapple is.  Well, to me there is only one; Rapa.  That’s the company that makes it.  It is a pork product from Bridgeville, Delaware.  I like it sliced thin, sauteed until crisp; in a sandwich or by itself.  More info?  Their website is www.rapascrapple.com.

For breakfast my friends and I go to our favorites in Rehoboth Beach, like Crystal or Greenman.  It is usually a special time any time I can get together with them.  Their names?  Why not?  Missy, Debbie and Roberta and once in a while Alice, when she is in town.

When in Delray, I follow pretty much the same routine than at home; coffee, cream, and Stevia; later on, a gala apple.   But, once in a while I like to find that special breakfast place; the one where I can sit outdoors and have a cup of coffee, an omelette, with no one rushing me.

I was in Delray before the Christmas holidays and we decided to try Atlantique Cafe.  This Cafe is located at the Atlantic Plaza, 777 East Atlantic Ave., Suite C-8. Tel. 561-272-1170.  Website is www.atlantiquecafe.com.  You can find them on Twitter and Facebook.  They have breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Plenty of parking, as well.

Part of the charm of Delray is that it is a very walkable town.  If you are a walker you can pretty much cover the whole downtown.  If you are coming from A1A on Atlantic Ave., then right after you cross the intracoastal bridge, on the right, you will find the Atlantic Plaza.  The Cafe is towards the back.  And, if you are coming on Atlantic Ave. from I-95 then continue until you see the bridge and the Plaza will be to your left.

IMG_0739

It was chilly; but now that is 20 degrees in Delaware I guess it is all relative.  I wanted to sit outside, and so we did.  They were busy but attentive.  Some people sat with their dogs at their feet.

I don’t know if I was up to explaining the gluten free allergy so early in the a.m.  Guess what?  They were good.  It was easier than I thought. 

I went inside to check the restaurant and I was impressed; bigger than I thought with a bar that could fit plenty of people.  By the way they have happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m.  They also offer free Wi-Fi and  have large t.v.s for all those sport enthusiasts.

Finally, I decided to have a Greek Omelette.  It had onion, tomato, spinach, gyro meat and feta cheese.  As much as I say about breakfast I have to tell you that the omelette was moist, and I think the gyro meat and the feta were a pretty good combination.  It was a big omelette but, no, I did not have any trouble finishing it, which by the way, came with a side of hash browns.

IMG_0752

My husband’s breakfast was not on the menu; he made his own thing; Corned Beef, fried onions on hashbrowns.  He also wanted cole slaw.  He knows his cole slaw and liked this one a lot.  If he had said it was o.k. then I would have known better.

IMG_0753

I loved that huge tree.  We sat under it and it added so much to the atmosphere of this restaurant.  I did not have lunch or dinner but they do offer salads and platters, cold sandwiches, off the grill and even a kids menu.  Full dinner menu is also available Mondays through Saturdays from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m.

IMG_0751

If you are visiting Delray, give them a call if you would like to know what entertainment is being offered.  At the time of my visit Elvis was there on Saturdays.

 

Have a great week….keep warm if you are up north…enjoy yourselves if you are in warmer climates…talk to you later…..

MIXX, American Fusion Restaurant, Restaurant, Review, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches

 IMG_1295

I have to tell you that back on June 3, 2010, I wrote a post about MIXX.  When I first visited this restaurant I was pleasantly surprised by the decor, the service, the ambiance, and of course, most importantly, the food.

I went over what I had written on that post, and I must admit I would not change a thing on it.  What a coincidence; again I was visiting MIXX on a Wednesday; gourmet burger night.  Friends were joining us for dinner, as well.  Their first time at MIXX.

Cindi and Ross are good friends from Ocean City and it has been some time since we had seen each other.  The moment we sat down Ross was so happy.  MIXX is casual, eclectic, intimate, a little hip, and just the right size.  His type of restaurant.

MIXX is located at 26 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.  The tel. is 302-226-8700.  The website?  www.mixxrehoboth.com.  It is recommended you make reservations, but we did not have any.  We were seated immediately; right after, it started filling up.

Cindi and Ross could not believe how comfortably crowded the town of Rehoboth was on a Wednesday night in January.  Even though there are restaurants that are closed, Rehoboth Beach has a vibrant community that supports the restaurants that do stay open.  These restaurants, in turn, offer great  specials, practically every day of the week.

On Wednesdays you will find $8 Gourmet Burgers and Half-priced martinis at MIXX.  So we started reading the menu; I knew what I wanted, though. 

Yes, I wanted one of the burgers.  They had 8 choices.  Besides burgers MIXX offered appetizers, flatbreads, soups, salads and entrees like Deviled Short Ribs, Macadamian Crusted Rockfish, MIXX Crab Cakes and Mahi Mahi, which was topped with a papaya mango relish, served with dirty rice and grilled asparagus.

I have to make a comment regarding food allergies and they way MIXX deals with such a sensitive subject.  Their menu has (gf) after all items that are gluten free; they have plenty of choices.  If you are vegetarian/vegan, then they suggest you call ahead and their chef will prepare a special entree.  It is so refreshing that the restaurants in our beaches are addressing these needs.

We started with the Margarita Flatbread which was simple and tasty with fresh tomato, basil, spicy marinara, topped with fresh mozzarella.

IMG_1278

We also ordered the Hot and Spicy Edamame, which were tossed with hot and spicy sesame oil.  That dish was gluten free.

Two salads were ordered, as well.  Both were gluten free.   A Wedge Salad which was an Iceburg lettuce wedge with peppered bacon, hard boiled egg, roasted corn, bleu cheese crumbles, siracha ranch dressing. 

IMG_1283

An Autumn Salad with wild grain rice, wine soaked raisins, dried fruit and cashews, served over mixed g reens with a maple mustard vinaigrette.  That salad was ordered as a tapas size.

IMG_1281

Most of the menu items can be ordered as full or tapas (smaller) portions.  

I ordered the Apple Pork Burger, which had grated apples, ground pork, rubbed sage,  topped with caramelized onions, served with maple creme fraiche.  The combinations of all those flavors were good; sweetness well received.  I chose truffle fries for my side dish.

IMG_1287

Cindi had the Black & Blue Bison Burger, with cracked pepper seasoned ground bison, topped with blue cheese crumbles, lettuce and tomato.  She also chose the  truffle fries for her side dish.  She thought it was delicious and even took some home.

IMG_1286

Ross decided on the Angus Beef Burger, topped with bacon, roasted red peppers and pepper jack cheese, side of chipolte mayo, which he declined.  It hit the spot.  His side dish was the sweet potato fries. 

IMG_1285

Truffle fries vs. sweet potato fries?  For me, it is a toss up.

My husband decided on 2 appetizers for his dinner and they looked beautiful.

The Crab & Feta Stuffed Portobello – It was a marinated portobello, lump crab and feta cheese topped with provolone, roasted red peppers and finished with a balsamic drizzle.  Gluten free, of course, and he loved it.

IMG_1288

He thought the Seared Scallops were perfectly cooked and seasoned.  They were served with shredded brussels sprouts, bacon, and a Dijon mustard aioli.  Again, gluten free.

IMG_1291

And, what can I say about the service?  Courtney was attentive, making sure all our needs were taken care of.  Pete came to talk to us, as well.

MIXX opens from Wednesday through Sunday at 5:30 p.m.  Sunday Brunch from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.  On Thursdays they will offer half priced wine (glass or bottle), and Free (tapas) Appetizer, Soup or MIXX Salad.  Sundays is buy one entree, get one free.

So many choices, so many restaurants to try…a lot of possibilities….One thing for sure is the fact that sharing a meal with friends…is and will always be, priceless!!

Winter Blues?…..get out, take a walk, sponsor the restaurants, the shops…enjoy this unique time of the year at the Beach….Talk to you later….

Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches, Rehoboth Beach Film Society, Doggies at the Beach, Striper Bites Bistro, Fish On, What’s Going On?, 1/4/11 – 1/8/11

 

I took a drive to Rehoboth Avenue yesterday just to see how the town looked after all the holiday festivities are now a thing of the past.  The Avenue had plenty of cars parked on both sides of the street.  I guess not everyone had gone home or started school.

Then, I got out of the car to check the beach and the boardwalk.  I was, practically, the only person there.  Granted, it was 2:30 p.m. and 36 degrees; not windy, though, but still cold, nevertheless.   North or south; empty.

IMG_1254

IMG_1251

IMG_1253

IMG_1252

The sight of the empty beach and the boardwalk made me realize that it is now definitely winter; a much slower pace at the beaches.  Don’t get me wrong; I love it this way.  A time to recharge and enjoy the area in a most unique way.

A lot of restaurants, bakeries, cafes are still open; but some have closed this week-end for a much deserved rest.  They will be open soon; in a couple of months.

And then the scenes will be the ones that give reason to come to our beaches; the boardwalk, the fries, pizza and best of all the unobstructed Delaware beaches.
