Sea Salt does it again.
One of our favorite restaurants, Sea Salt Eatery, is closing for the season in just two more weeks. It's a sad day when they lock their doors. Not only does it mean summer/fall is over, but the best seafood restaurant in the area is n longer serving their scrumptious crab cakes, loaded po'boys or crispy calamari. It's very sad.
So we had a date night Friday night and walked over to Minnehaha Park, where the owners set up shop in the park pavilion.
There was no line, and we were able to step back and really look over the menu. Because we've been there so often, I always take a look at the specials. There were a slew of them on Friday, so we ordered two of them, along with the standby's: A Crab Cake and order of Calamari. The Specials we ordered were the Garlic-roasted Mussels with Tomato and Olive Bruschetta, and the Yucatan Shrimp Platter. loaded with black beans, corn relish and rice. Needless to say, everything was delicious. Along with a bottle of wine, our evening was splendid. I'm glad the place wasn't crowded, because neither of us came up for air until all four plates were spotless.
Again the Calamari, is not the rubbering kind usually found in the midwest, but meating thick pieces coated in a thin batter. The Crab Cake contains crab and really not much else. But that's what Crab Cake shouldnt be, right? The mussels were tasting, without being too garlicy, and bruschetta was even better when I rubbed the roasted garlic on top of its' toasted crust. The shrimp were large, tasted like the sea and were coated in a subtle adobo sauce.
Sea Salt's dessert menu is limited to Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream, but I've never ordered it after a meal because, really, there's just no room.
We have two weeks to make it back there. Keep your fingers crossed.
