We went for dinner one night last week and enjoyed everything-
shrimp bisque, watercress salad, triggerfish and buffalo rib-eye. All good. :clap_1:
Glad to hear it. I thought that when I go for dinner, my first entree will be the Buffalo Ribeye.

Just for the record..I also loved my Kobe Beef burger at Gravel Road. It was big but I could have eaten 3 of them it was so good. Shawn is from Philly and the cheese steak is authentic...I tasted it...gooo ood. My better half had the chicken pot pie which was amazing and perfect for this weather. It was nice to have options that were not the typical tourist stuff...some real food. Although I like the grouper and crabcake stuff it is good to have variety.

I get a little tired of creole fusion or whatever they like to call the fancy seafood stuff they serve everywhere here.

Hurray for Gravel Road. :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:
I like the name too :clap_1:

(SOOO goooood!!!) They seem to be doing really well. I am very happy for them and so proud of those guys! I am definitely gonna try out dinner soon. YUMMOLA!

i had dinner at gravel road tonight before the concert at seaside. WOW, i am so glad for a restaurant like this. great food, attentive service by keri, relaxed atmosphere, and good music.

i started with the crabcake. nicely presented on the tomato confit, surrounded by the mustard sauce and the truffled frisee oil. man, the confit was rich, you needed the mustard to cut the sweetness. nice dish, able to stand on it's own.

for my entree, i ordered just the vegetables from numerous entrees. i asked if this was going to be a hassle. no problem. i got the spinach, asparagus, polenta, rice and squash.

baby spinach, tossed fleetingly in the pan so as not to wilt, seasoned with s/p, just the right amount, eaten in it's entirety, first.

pencil asparagus, same. tossed and seasoned.

crispy sundried tomato polenta cake, awesome, not overdone with too many tomatoes. and crispy is right, quite inventive.

marscapone cheese wild rice. i expected it to be thick with cheese, and it wasn't. light, but hints of the cheese swirling around. and the rice not overcooked, left a little chewy. i can't stand mushy rice.

butternut squash raqout. my favorite of the bunch. slowly sweated onions in this, and the squash just shy of carmelization. awesome.

for dessert, i had the orange and cinnamon creme brulee. served cool, and i tasted the orange, but no cinnamon. firm on top, thick runny on the botton, like ripe triple cream, cheeses.

needless to say, i will be back often. as you will, after you've been there once.
