Out and About, Vic & Angelo’s, Delray Beach, Restaurant, Review, South Florida, Palm Beach County
Out and about checking the Avenue in downtown Delray Beach. It was a bit chilly and I thought it was about to start raining, but it didn’t.
I have been meaning to stop at Crepes by the Sea. It is a tiny restaurant specializing in crepes. I know that flour is added to the batter so I stopped to see if they did that, as well. They said yes but immediately I was told that they are working with a gluten free buckwheat flour and soon they will be able to offer that option to customers with a gluten allergy. Check their website, www.crepesbythesea.com. They are on Facebook, as well.
I was walking back to my townhouse when I looked up and saw the guy trimming the palm tree. He was so high up but seemed pretty comfortable and at ease in that position.
Then gathered the rest of my family and by now it was after 1 p.m. So, guess what? We went to Vic & Angelo’s. I had not been to this restaurant in some time but I did write a post on them back on September 29, 2009. To see it, all you have to do is go on the left hand side of this website and click on the month of September, 2009 and scroll down to the date.
Vic & Angelo’s is located at 290 E Atlantic Avenue. Website? www.vicandangelos.com. Tel. 561-278-9570. You can also find them of Facebook and Twitter.
We ate indoors since it was sort of cold but there are plenty of tables for outdoor dining. This restaurant is so open that you don’t even realize you are eating indoors.
Delicious bread was brought to our table. I had forgotten how good it was.
We wanted something light. Vic & Angelo’s gives you plenty of food, though.
The Grilled Calamari was ordered and I have had this appetizer before; it was just as good. Olives, capers, peppers, arugula, with a lemon vinaigrette.
The Sicilian Chicken Wings had rosemary, chilies, aged Parmessan, olio verde and onions. I have been testing chicken wings here and there and I am usually very partial to the ones at the Bru’s Room but these ones could be right up there with them.
The Vic & Angelo’s Caesar was my dish. It had romain hearts, hand shaved Reggiano, and the best white anchovies. I topped it with a very well seasoned, medium skirt steak. It is unusual to find a Caesar salad with the white anchovies. They are a great addition to this salad. People don’t realize how mild they are. The dressing was perfect; light.
We lounged and talked and watched people go by. Yes, remember, we are on vacation and there is no hurry to get anywhere. Kick back and relax. That’s precisely what we did.
Note: Vic & Angelo’s Happy Hours are Mondays to Fridays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and from 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. They offer 1/2 price drinks and appetizers.
See you later….talk to you later too…
