When I don't have a recipe on Monday, and whenever possible, I will share a restaurant we have visited. This one is the Blue Water Grille and Row Bar in Manteo, when we were in North Carolina a few weeks ago.
My sister-in-law found this one.
It was a very enjoyable experience...
and the food was delicious.
If you would like to take a look at their website, this is the link.
We ordered off the lunch special menu. One of the appetizers they were offering was fried pickles, which we shared.
Gregg and I ordered the Asian-style Crab and Broccoli Soup. It also was very good.
We all ordered the Seared Scallops Salad.
Scallops are one of my favorite seafoods.
And for dessert? The Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding. It was decadent, one of the best I had ever tasted, and we shared so that we wouldn’t be too naughty after such a scrumptious meal.
I also enjoyed looking at the art on the walls...
and the stained glass hanging in the windows.
Afterwards we took a walk outside and enjoyed the boats. If you saw my other post you might remember this area from another photo I included.
The sculpture of a Marlin, as if jumping out of the water.
We always enjoy trying another restaurant, especially when on vacation.
Thank you for looking and have a great week.
and the stained glass hanging in the windows.
Thank you for looking and have a great week.
What a lovely restaurant! The food all looks very fresh and so good. I love the gorgeous stained glass! I am so glad you snapped it! The leaping Marlin in the water is very cool!!
ReplyDeleteI am always happy you enjoy my posts Ginny, thank you :)
DeleteThe food does look good. The art looks excellent. The surroundings and the clouds look amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you EC, it was a perfect day and place for photos :)
DeleteHow lovely! The scallops look delicious! I love them fresh; the ones we get inland tend to be bitter.
ReplyDeleteI have only cooked them once at home but there's nothing like getting them in a seafood restaurant not far from the ocean :) Thanks Linda!
DeleteI was tempted to select one of the items on the menu board but indecision stopped me.
ReplyDeleteI understand Valerie, it is really hard with so many choices :)
DeleteUm lugar de grande beleza e por vistos também se come bem.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana.

DeleteHello, looks like a beautiful location for the restaurant. I love the scallops too, yum! Enjoy your day, wishing you a great new week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen and have a great week :)
Deletewhat a gorgeous place to eat, I love the look of the building and the stained glass is gorgeous. lots of beauty there. there is noting on the black board I would eat other than the pudding and that is something I gave up 3 years ago. the seafood I eat is shrimp or grouper, snook and sometimes flounder. mother and daddy would have loved all the foods on the list. I like thick white fluffy fish, with no bones
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra, it will be a place we will go to again when next we are in that area :)
Deletedo they serve burgers??? ha ha
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the menu and they have a bison burger!
DeleteWe'll if it's fresh seafood, you'll have me in it! Those scallops look so fresh plus a good view to relax and unplug a bit from the world! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, it was a fun place to relax for a spell :)
Deletenothing better than seafood by the sea
ReplyDeleteI agree Linda :)
DeleteSome restaurants are much more than restaurants and when they have excellent food it's icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteVery true Red :)
DeleteI like the looks of those fried pickles and the scallops. Oh my. Those photos of the boats would look nice as oil or watercolor paintings.
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi and thank you :) The pickles surprised me the first time I ever saw them a few years ago. I had never heard of such a thing but the other surprise was how good they were.
DeleteWhat a lovely outing, enjoyed the food and art photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine, so glad :)
