Blue Water Grill (Bridal Shower!)

This Lunch/ Dinner was amazing  I love love love food, wine, and celebrations. Thank god it was girls only, that helped with me pigging out and having fun with the ladies. 

For $45 a person, this prefixed lunch was to die for. (free resling to toast with!!)

                                                            Jumbo Lump Crab Cake

pickled vegetables, meyer lemon aioli

I shared this crab cake with one of my cousins. We agreed to order one of each item on the menu to maximize our tasting pleasures of the prefix meal we were able to have. 

It was a real Lump crab cake, it was nice, light, airy and fresh. I wish we could have had two of these!!!

                                   Shrimp & Lobster Spring Roll

      spicy coconut sauce, yuzu-mustard sauce

What I ordered for my appetizer was this. It was beyond delicious. So mad I had only four pieces, and shared two!!! compared to the crab cake, I'd order this again....with the crab cake LOL

The Coconut sauce was delicious, the yuzu sauce I could have done without...

over all welly good dish

                                 Maine Lobster & Shrimp Roll

herb mayonnaise, crispy bacon, celery, waffle fries

I didn't order this, but the small amount that I did have was heavenly. it was a different kind of lobster roll. can't quite put my finger on it, but sans bacon, I would definitely order this on my next excursion!!!

                              Crispy Skin Scottish Salmon

spring onion, cherry tomato, blue foot mushrooms, saffron-borlotti

I ordered this dish and was somewhat satisfied. There was no problem with the Salmon, but if you were as hungry as I was with no breakfast, this was a tease compared to the lobster roll. I was not really into the beans on the bottom, but the sauce on the bottom was beyond delicious. If there were more starch added to the dish, I might have been more satisfied.....

                                    Vanilla Bean Crème Brulee

pistachio biscotti

This was REALLY delicious. i had only one bite, but I snuck in another two or three because the brulee part was to die for!!! Nice and decadent... I need one now as I write this. 

                                           Gelato & Sorbet

    assorted flavors of the day

This is what I had to eat. Banana, vanilla, and chocolate gelato was delicious. Surprisingly enough, my most favorite was the banana. It tasted more true to it's name. I would def get this again!! 

Over all, this place was nice and sexy. For any occasion I'd recommend people to go. Next time I go, I would probably go with my  gut and order the lobster roll, and maybe other items on the menu.

Till next time!!!

Pecan Pie!! 

The holy grail of deserts is right here!!!  Thank God my friend shared her desert with me!!!  I would definitely recommend this one here!! 

The appetizer platter!!!  Here are the to die for chicken fingers encrusted with corn flakes and other goodness. The fries have melted cheese, they come with bacon but I omitted them. The Calamari was super delicious without the sauce!!!  I will definitely get this whole thing for myself again!!! 

Wednesday happy hour special are always changing. Unfortunately thy make dishes that you want again and again!!! For $5 I got this homemade gnocchi with shrimp in a Cajun sauce. Omg it was good!!!  If I didn't have the appetizer sampler I would have ordered a few more!!! 

This drink right here is amazing! The hurricane is the main reason to visit Bourbon street!! At $5 a pop all day till 8 you have got to get your hands on one of these bad boys. 

I see myself frequenting this place often. But don't just take my word for it! You must go there and try it out yourself!

Beauty and Essex

Girls night out!!!

We were celebrating the last days of my cousins pregnancy. This cute swanky place was excellent. From the decor to the food, they did not disappoint!

Here we have the lobster tacos! Yes they were GOOD. I couldn't believe how crispy the crust was and how awesome that aoili sauce was on top. We almost ordered another round! Here we only have two orders. Each order comes with 3 tacos. It's a must try!!!

 

Here is Garganelli

(spicy veal bolognese, whipped Little Italy ricotta ) OMG was it good!!! It was velvety and smooth. The ricotta was so light and fresh!!

 

Oven Braised Chicken Meatballs
sheeps milk ricotta, wild mushroom, truffle. I didn't read the description of the meatballs before they came to the table. I could smell and taste the truffle and was really amazed at how soft and sutle it was. The sauce was awesome. The meatballs were nice and juicy. This too is  must try!

 

The home made ice cream (vanilla) was awesome too! Very light and refreshing

 

Black Bottomed Butterscotch Pot de Crème! This was to die for! We all had the look of satisfaction on our faces when we took a bite! There was little to no disappointment with this desert!

 

The drink I had was called the Beauty Elixir. I recommend it. The other drinks that the other girls had were Earl The Pearl and O.D.B. “Old Dirty Bramble” They were all good!

I definitely recommend this place for a girls night out, date or just a chill spot. The people are nice, waiters are cool and the food, of course is AWESOME! check it out, you won't be disappointed!!
