I love it there and will take your tip of sticking to the seasonal menu, next time I am in. Perhaps the regular one needs a little overhaul.

You are right about the location. Absolute paradise for sure.

I’m so glad your stroll on the beach erased “that dreaded grey” steak from your memories, at least in that moment. Your friend was sure to feel saluted and celebrated from the looks of their meal. The “s” birthday approaches here, too (in a few years) and I’ll be looking for a special spot to celebrate… Palm Beach sounds like a wonderful place (but I may have to settle for the shores of Lake Eufaula, lol!)

I had such high expectations for you after the prosecco and zucchini flowers. What a shame – don’t you wonder sometimes how plates of food actually leave the kitchen?
Glorious blue skies though and a stunning beach – perfect for a special friend and to celebrate a new decade.

Wow! Look at those beautiful blue skies. If I sent you a photo of HK’s sky right now, it might make you cry. We are down wind from China and getting all that smog. I think the best way to start any celebration is with a little bubbly and it looks like a grand night. Happy Birthday to your friend. Take care, BAM

Could you send your steak sandwich back? Or it is not proper where you are? Glad the birthday girl had a delicious meal. So disappointing when the food is not consistent and at such price. The view is gorgeous.

They were a bit uneven in their presentation, weren’t they. At least not everything was a loss. It’s true for me that often the location makes the difference. I’ve had less than stellar meals at restaurants with beautiful ocean views and found I didn’t care about the meal’s shortcomings. And other times, a wonderful meal in a noisy, uncomfortable setting turns me off. I hope your friend felt loved! What a nice birthday…those “S” birthdays are scary! I can attest to that! 🙂

What a delightful way to celebrate your friends birthday.
The place seems lovely and I think it’s always a good sign when not only the Prosecco is chilled, but the glasses as well.
Oh, these small details that make all the difference:)
The beach looks stunning!

What a beautiful way to celebrate an “S” birthday!! all the dishes look so good…I was surprised too to hear yours did not taste well as my first thought was that I loved the thinness of the sandwich….sometimes looks are deceiving!! I’m a calamari fan, so I loved the description of it. All in all, it looked like a perfect day!!
