We went to Barnacle Ben's Seafood on Saturday with our friends, Larry and Linda, and were a bit disappointed.
Nice hot bread was devoured with lots of butter.
After ordering appetizers: scallops wrapped in bacon, crab wontons and coconut shrimp, we were notified that they were out of scallops. Instead we ordered the crab balls, which are always delicious. The coconut shrimp was cooked to perfection. The crab wontons were a bit tasteless inside.
The Gorgonzola salad that Jay and Linda ordered was delicious!
Our entrees:
Jay - seafood au gratin: instead of scallops; fish was substituted without being informed; side of pepper hash
Ken - surf and turf: the lobster was bland and tasteless; side of pepper hash
Larry - crab cake and lobster tail with asparagus: again, the lobster was bland and tasteless; sides of stewed tomatoes
Linda - pecan-crusted salmon with asparagus
They were out of the "starches" - wild rice and baked sweet potato, so we went without, but we were still charged for them!
It will be a while before they see us again...
