Another lady and I had the Whole Roasted Bronzini, which was sea bass with lemon, garlic and rosemary; served on a cedar plank. We gave it very high marks. While staring down at a dead fish that was staring back at me was a little disconcerting right out of the chute and while I had fun in the slicing and dicing that was needed to get to the meat itself, it was a fun experience. I probably would not get that again as there are other delicacies that I will try out next time. My wife had the Macadamia Crusted Chicken. She was slightly disappointed and gave it about a 6 or 7. We will return. If you have never been there I strongly suggest you give it a try.
Did you forget to mention the name of the restaurant or did I miss it?

Guess I did not make it clear that my final decision was Goblin Market, sorry. Again, I highly recommend it.

Thanks in advance.

Ted when you go to see And there were none. The next production, go to Giannis on Alexander St. The sauce is TDF Len

The Lakeside Inn is one our favorites for wine, great gumbo and great sunsets.
We love the Goblin as well.

We ate at the Goblin on Sunday. My first time there and thought it was very good. What an interesting place as well

Default Norm's Patette?

Has anyone tried 'Norm's Palette"?

It has good reviews on Yelp. The owner is an artist and foodie. He has you paint while you wait for dinner to be prepared. Yelp has lots of photos of guests with pretty darn good paintings that they did with his instruction. Art class and dinner, quite unique!

Sounds fun and different. Anyone been there?
