Not to beat a dead horse by revisiting this charming restaurant in Island Park,they just keep doing a super job.Today they will be receiving their twice weekly order of lobsters,clams and steamers fresh from New England.owned by a delightful couple (Mark and Laurie)and with the help of their children they continue to put out a high quality product for reasonable amounts.The friendly service is un-matched,more like eating at home with family.

What's the name of this place? Not that I get to Island Park often but an evening ride just may be in order if the place is that good.

Just a note...if you are going to get it "to go", bring your own pot and allow about an hour to an hour and a half for preparation. Have a few brewski's while you wait, it's worth it  |

How many people does that big pot typically feed? OB, do you and the Mr. like seafood? I'm thinking a double date is in order.

Then Rummy, you bring the Lobster and Steer, and what else could we mix to the pot..............
And we could have One Damn Big Forum Pot Luck..........Or a ODBFPL...........................Maybe some New England Clams and BlueBerries, Some Spuds from Idaho. Pineapple and Coconuts from Hawii........and a little Cuervo; one smashing margarita baby.

His motto, sees food, he eats it. AND since Paella is one of his favorite dishes, he loves seafood. Especially shell fish. :) I think a double date is in order for sure.
Uh? Do they take credit card or debit cards? (laughing)

Yes, they take debit/credit cards.
Please notify me of the date you will be going. I will choose NOT to be in attendance, as I do NOT want my dining experience ruined by a couple of cackling old hags. |

Motv, REALLY.....and you find me wondering, does mini golf take CC or Debit?
And yes, we certainly wouldn't want your dining pleasure ruined by a couple of cackling old hags...might I suggest YOU NOT go during early bird special, as that's when we'll be avoiding as well.

I noticed on the Bahama Breeze menu they have a dish called Seafood Paella,a caribbean casserole with shrimp,sea scallops,mussells,chicken,fish,Spanish sausage,peas and yellow rice,if I go tonight one of us can try it and I'll let you know if it is any good.
