Borago

We went back tonight. Food and service were wonderful!

Did you say hi to my girlies??? I wanted to go but have the baby with me.

duh. What did you expect? :rolling:

Love Borago! The horseradish-encrusted salmon is excellent, as is the angel hair pasta with shrimp and prosciutto (a nice amount of spiciness). I love their Caesar salad -- the dressing is not too heavy, not too light -- and their arugula salad. The most amazing thing about the place is eating at the bar and being served by Danny -- one smooth guy. He always remembers when we were there last (heck, we don't even remember that) and even remembers what we discussed on our last visit. Talk about excellent and friendly service! No wonder people rave about this restaurant.

I've said it once, but I'll say it again....order the Arugula Salad and the Scallops and you will be transported to Heaven. It is the Kitty Special...(the peeps at Borago just don't know that!!) It makes me smile just thinking about it. :wub:

BR, I hear you. I think Danny may have cut back to working there only one night per week, but Jenna or Joy will take care of you at the bar when Danny is not there. Any restaurant which retains the service staff for more than 2 years must be doing something right. Knowing that they treat the staff well, ensures that the staff will treat the customers well, and that in turn equates to outstanding service. While I have enjoyed eating every dish on the entire menu, except the martini menu, I do think they need to freshen the menu with some new items.

They had some pretty excellent specials last night. There was a mushroom ravioli appetizer that was unbelievably earthy and delicious. As it was only my second visit, I don't know how often the specials change, but they definitely added something to the menu.

I also had a dark chocolate creme brulee that may be my new favorite desert...or at least a close second to Basmati's tofu pie.

We like Jenna -- she is savvy as well. Don't know Joy. She might know us -- I dunno. My memory is pretty bad.😱

I LOVE BORAGO!:wub:

Not only do some of our favorite people work there, the food is consistently wonderful!

I spent NYE there and got to count it down Steele Mama and a couple of her chicks!:wub:

mmmmmm... Borago. :clap_1: Definately one of my most favorite places to eat on 30-A. And I agree with SJ about retaining such a great staff... makes for an all around exceptional dining experience. Gravel Road's another fav. The buffalo filet practically melts in your mouth.

:welcome: Pantone383! It is about time you got on here. I don't think I ever told you how highly I think of your work. I saw the logo which you designed for Jim Horton, and that may be one of the cleanest and simplest ones I've seen yet, and I told him so.

okay, back to my favorite "local" restaurant...

I am going back to finish my original mission...arugula, scallops and chocolate creme brulee.

Bdarg will talk to you about the buffalo filet. He had the nirvana face going on while chewing.
