I love the Little PG restaurants. this is a new installment by the owner of the Big Night Bistro. This little wine bar has fresh gelato, and some great little pizza’s all in the little cafe. It is a great spot to stop and have a glass of wine and some nibbles. The pizza is good, napoletana style, as much of a connoisseur as i am it inst anything to write home about, but it is good, just as good as the other pizza in town likely. Give it a shot, you will be glad you did…
After feeling quite depressed the past few days at our seeming lack of the local love for this delicious bi-valve (the Oyster), I decided that since good oysters cant be found at my local grocery store, nor many restaurants, I would forge into the PG farmers market. I am glad that I did.
After purchasing a dozen blue point oysters from the fish monger, I mosied around to check out the other offerings and I stumbled across this Dave’s Oyster Shake and Grill. I was rather excited to see they do cajun style Oyster Po boys, a delicious sandwich that is almost impossible to find in our neck of the woods. As I had in hand a dozen oysters that I planned to go home and shuck instantly, I opted for a 2 dollar taco.
Talk about paradise. This oyster taco was fantastic. The most amazing batter, spicey and crisp, with the delicate oyster soft and velvety inside. Topped with some cabbage, mango salsa, and s drizzle of spicy sauce, this treat was amazing. I will return every Monday my friend, except next time for the Po Boy!!!
Well I have to admit I have a soft spot for quaint Pacific Grove Restaurants, the quiet cool streets illuminated by trees strung with glowing white lights.
I decided on a whim to try this lovely little French restaurant, and it was worth
the shot. The ambiance was cozy, there was a soft live guitar playing familiar melodies and hot French Onion Soup. I didn’t want to leave, I felt like I was back in a small French Bistro in Cognac.
I ordered a Special that included a large glass of Red or White wine, and Soup or Salad, and a pork or chicken entre. I opted for the half roast chicken with Jus,
it was served up with roasted potatoes, veggies, and sautéed mushrooms. Really quite fantastic, and the sticker price rather accommodating at 18 dollars for everything.
If you are looking for a little romantic getaway or just an escape to a delightfully slower environment, this place is worth checking out. Ambiance 5 stars, food 4 stars, service was good too, overall 4.1 Stars I would comfortably give this amazing little place.
As far as Mexi-Cali restaurants go this one gets a 4.5 from me. Wouldn’t change a thing except the service, can be a little snotty some times…
