Restaurant Review: The Big Fish Grill - Page 2

Author: PatfishPublished: Sep 29, 2005 at 2:46 am 2 comments

The only problem I had with my meal is it was very large and one had better be ready for seafood served with seafood over seafood before dining at this establishment. The sauce spooned over the linguini was, well I'd rate it as satisfactory. Again, it was very fishy but I mean that in a good way. How much fishy tasting stuff can one eat before one's lips begin to purse from the salt?

I did take my leftovers home and scrounged two more meals out of it. Served in small proportions it was more keenly appreciated.

Also, I did have a bowl of the cream of crab soup. My expectations weren't high. Cream of crab is seldom "good" in that fine manner of cream, careful mixing on to an end of a tasteful soup. Too often crab meat is covered with milk and heated up, perhaps with a pinch of parsley.

The Big Fish Grill's cream of crab soup was very tasty. It wasn't chock full of crab meat but this is exactly how I think the soup should be prepared.

Side dishes are offered, of course, but they are unremarkable save for the specials. My mother- in-law had whipped sweet potatoes which I swiped. This is a different sort of dish to serve with seafood.

The cole slaw was bitter, not good at all. The bread served with my meal was grilled to perfection and perfect alongside of seafood. I also had a special side dish affair consisting of green beans and tomatoes. The dish tasted like summer and thought was put into its preparation.

Dinner for three including one drink was heading close to $100.00.

All in all, what with mother-in-law's unabashed enjoyment of those broiled crab cakes, I'd call the dining experience well worth it.

If you're looking for an intimate and quiet dinner out, don't go to the Big Fish Grill. Also, during busy hours there's almost always a long line. A 45 minute wait is normal.

But if you want fresh seafood tastefully prepared, this is the place.

    Hey, good job, Patfish.

    Do some more restaurant reviews. I love reading about fine dining and foodie-type stuff and it'd be a welcome addition here to others too, I'm sure.

    Seafood is yummy.

    That is all.
