Craving seafood, we visited Barnacle Ben's on Sunday, July 12, 2009.
Appetizers:
Coconut shrimp - one of Ken's favorites.
Mussels in a garlic and oil sauce - delicious!
Entrees:
Ken - seafood newburg, mixed vegetables, baked potato
Jay - seafood au gratin, pepper hash (very good) and baked yam
Wines enjoyed:
2007 Poetess Lodi Shiraz
2008 Chaddsford Proprieters Reserve Pennsylvania White Wine
We had a wonderful meal which was marred because a large table seated near us complained the whole time. Why go out to dinner if you're not going to be happy that you don't have to cook? Don't order from the prix fixe menu (someone pronounced it "price fix") and expect the best the restaurant has to offer. They said they'd never return. That's great - we won't have to suffer through a meal with them nearby.
They ran out of food because a bridal shower was held in the restaurant earlier in the day. That didn't spoil our dining experience. We got to try new things.
