D and K, OUTSTANDING!

[Trilby]

Hi all,

This is my first visit to SoWal, although I've enjoyed the posts and the threads for months, courtesy of a dear friend who shares the restaurant news with me. Tonight was our first visit to D and K -- what a WONDERFUL experience! A triumph in every imaginable sense of the word. We shared appetizers (shrimp & grits and the crab boulettes), and we both had the Cajun Rib Eye with Crawfish & Crab and Jalape?o B?arnase entree. We asked the chef for a wine recommendation, and the Argyle ?Nuthouse? Pinot Noir was a PERFECT choice!! We finished the evening with the key lime pie and the pecan praline torte. Oh, my -- it was all SO good! The service was splendid; our water glasses were never empty and there wasn't a single decadent need that was unfilled. The icing on top of the cake was the lovely and gracious Kathy, who was every bit as fun and as charmimg as her posts here would indicate. We can't imagine why it took us so long to visit D and K, and we can't WAIT to visit again!

It was so much funn to have the two of you come in to dine with us and partake in our Halloween haunting. I so enjoyed talking and laughing with ya'll about all the adventures you have had around the area. There is nothing more wonderful then seeing people take a dining experience to the top and enjoy every moment of it.

For me "the icing on the top" are the people who come in that I get to talk with and begin a friendship that never ends. Across the little Anne Rice room from your table was another couple that has dined with us since we started the D&K's Cafe in 1996. So at the same time I had long beloved friends and exciting
newbie friends that I had the pleasure to enjoy.

So we all thank you very much for your kind words and for sharing with everyone about your service........ Natalia (the server) will be so pleased to hear how well she did!

I look forward to your next visit and enjoying your laughter again!

I just returned from another fabulous trip to Sowal and was lucky enough to get out and enjoy several very nice meals at some of my favorite restaurants last week. But D&K stood out by far as the best. Kat, I'm so sorry we missed you-but thank you for the reservation. Our table was perfect.

The Halloween decor, the impeccable service, the atmosphere and the food-all of it made for a most pleasant dining experience. D&K is a treasure!! Hope to see you again on my next trip!

Yes, D and K's is an outstanding restaurant here on 30A. My problem is now I live on the East end of 30, near Alys---hmmmm.....What about D and K East!!!! I miss the convenience, I guess I''ll need to get over it!

H & F are we still having a birthday party together around the 30th? Jamie has it all decorated for Christmas, ohhh but by then it may be in New Years mode....then next comes Mardi Gras. Your table is always waiting for you.

See you soon!!!!!
