I agree with you 100%!!! If I had one meal, I would have to go to Borago and eat those scallops! Heaven on a plate!
I hadn't seen the latest round of this thread....pre laptop in FL days! The story of j and kfunn and their "shift" at Goatfeathers is priceless!!! We have eaten their exactly twice in 19 years...once was not good and second was worse. We no go to Goatfeathers! What's up with that name anyway??
Cannot remember the story behind the name. You have to either go there or watch BeachTV to get the scoop behind the name. I think the Goat part is Scottish in origin, but I may be wayyyyy offffff. I have been there three times to eat, but more often to the fish market downstairs. They do have good stuff in the market.
...and yes, the scallops served at Borago are to die for.
Jay is that wonderful Bartender, formerly of Borago's. He is not only a good bartender but one of those kind and gentle souls, as is most of the staff at both Borago's and Criolla's. Both are great places to dine, with Criolla's having a more exclusive wine selection, and Borago's having a slight edge on food (IMHO).
I just wish more restaurants in SoWal were more willing to change the menus seasonally. (Note: Mark ((Co-Owner of Borago)), I will kick your butt if you change the Scallops and Roasted Tomatoes too much. Have your way with the other dishes, but limit the changes made to this one. -- Do you even have time to read SoWal.com?)
BTW, Joy will take great care of you at Borago, as will every waitstaff person there. You will find the same care and sincerity at Criolla's. ;-)
I might be biased though!
