  • The BF and I enjoyed a post-Christmas dinner at Joe's this past Sunday with close friends Jolene L. and Rob C., as well as Rob's brother Russ and their mom, Diann. Without a doubt I'd been looking forward to our 5pm reservation for a couple of weeks... Our waiter was a nice fella whose name escapes me...but he'd no doubt made a career for himself on knowing the specials and knowing them well. A little bit snoot, but still a whole lotta nice. We ordered drinks and I decided on one of the fancy schmancy specialty cocktails called "Daddy's Key Lime Pie" - a yummy concoction that yes - tastes like liquid Key lime pie and no doubt could turn deadly very quickly... (No wonder the recipe is top secret!) All I know is it's made with Skyy Vodka, half & half or some other cream, I'm guessing a lime liqueur because it was sweeter than if it were just lime juice and it's served in a martini glass rimmed in a sugary graham cracker dust. Bottoms Up! It was deeeelicious. Before I forget, too, I have to mention the bread basket! There is the OMGAH cutest mini loaf pretzel bread in that basket. I LOVES it!!! Even though we all pretty much knew what we wanted as our entrees...we took our time looking over the menu to determine our starters and sides. In fact, I ordered well after appetizers were set on our table because I didn't think I was hungry enough to justify that and an entrée. However, once I caught sight of the Jumbo Crab Cake I knew I couldn't resist. That Jumbo Crab Cake was SO GOOD... chunks of flaky, white crab meat. It practically melted in my mouth! The next time I'm at Joe's I'm going to order the Jumbo Crab Cake dinner. (my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it!) Rob & Jolene ordered the 2nd Mortgage, an appetizer that lives up to its name! A plate of Jumbo Shrimp, Lobster Cocktail, Alaskan King Crab, and a Shrimp & Scallop Ceviche. I tried some of the ceviche and it was flavored so nicely...light with just the right amount of acidity with chunks of scallops and shrimp... very, very good. Now... the main course... I knew IMMEDIATELY that I wanted the Bacon-wrapped Scallops. Have you seen them? Oh my goodness! TEN scallops in total; served in a "pair" of five since they are wrapped in bacon... oh my goodness...oh my goodness... heavenly! I could only eat five of them which worked out perfectly for me since I had leftovers for dinner last night! The scallops are fantastic. I didn't much care for the bacon itself but the flavor the bacon gave the scallops was FANTASTIC and they were perfectly cooked. For sides I ordered the Pan Roasted Sweet Corn, which I absolutely loved, and the Deep Fried Asparagus. How could I resist it? Even our waiter made a comment that they took a perfectly healthy vegetable and umm... made it unhealthy... and it was divine! Good thing the sides are generous in portion and can be shared easily between a party of even four, I'd say... I tried the Garlic Creamed Spinach, also, and it was nice... but the Asparagus was the clear front runner. After our leftovers were boxed up, we ordered coffee... I really wanted dessert...but I had no room whatsoever. I was so stuffed I even considered for a second, sprinting to the opposite end of the Forum Shops to H&M to purchase a pair of elastic waistband pants... *tee hee* Two in our party of six did order dessert... I had a bite of both the Key Lime Pie and the Havana Dream Pie... which, oh yes... was certainly that. Both were decadent... I woulda needed a pair of elastic waistband pants AND a couch (a stretcher? and two strong mens?) had I indulged in a whole piece. It was a lovely meal... with great friends that are near and dear to me... and a great send off for 2010... I know we're not QUITE there yet...but I don't see another $30 entrée a'happenin for me before Friday so... there you go.
