Tonight we went to dinner at a place called Water's Edge in Weeki Wachi, Florida. The reviews were great and we were looking forward to a fine dining experience.
I have to say I was SLIGHTLY disappointed.
We got our menus and quickly saw they didn't have mussels. My son, my parents and I love mussels.
We had a wonderful server, who I can only fault on not bringing out butter and sour cream for the potatoes when they came out. Other than that, she was great!
The salad was nothing "original", just a classic salad, until the house dressing was poured on. I don't normally like spicy or hot, but their Peach Habanero dressing was absolutely divine! I wanted to bring some home!
The bread was the best I've had in a long time. It really tasted fresh and homey.
The scallops were delicious! I don't think I've ever had better scallops. I ordered mind grilled with Champagne Lime sauce on the side. Just a little bit drizzled on, not too much to overpower the scallops, and I was in heaven.
My potato was awful. Overcooked and hard. Almost ruined the dinner.
My parents had the porkchops. Mom thought they had a great flavor but were too tough to enjoy. Dad doesn't complain unless something is seriously wrong with his food. Servers like him.
My son and niece split some awesome mozzarella nuggets. Okay, so I snatched 1/4 of one. YUM! My son also had some great, fresh fish fingers. I was worried they would be the frozen Mrs. Paul variety and the good stuff wouldn't be wasted on a child. So glad I was wrong! He actually ate most of his dinner! My niece had spaghetti, and only complained that there wasn't more.
My brother was kind and took the kids home so my parents and I could enjoy the remainder of our meal. We also ordered a chocolate martini. I had one once in Hershey, and while I'm not much of a drinker, that was delicious! This one was okay. The dusting of the chocolate on the rim was missing, and I couldn't see through the drink to see the kiss on the bottom. But it was alright.
It's a bit pricey, but I think we'll go back again.

Was trying to figure out who this was that had left a comment on my blog...had to read on to find names but I should have known from your style. Fun and full of thoughts. I am listening to Cutting for Stone in the car right now. Have you read it? It's different but excellent. Next time you travel to p-town I'll have to take you to our newest addition for lunch, Bradley's. We laugh and call it fine dining in a doublewide but the fried green tomatoes are top notch. Take care.Marsha
