I have noticed that the last couple of restaurants I’ve reviewed, the newly-opened ones, don’t have menus online. Is this a new “thing”? Being a teeny bit OCD when it comes to eating out, this concept is a bit daunting because I really want to know what I’m in for before making reservations.
Oxbow 7 is Bayou Cuisine with Chef Bryan Caswell at its helm. I guess that little nugget info was enough for me to venture into the unknown. As I grew older, I welcome surprises more and more. Although, I would not put it beyond me NOT to walk out if the menu is simply underwhelming. Speaking of menu, it was strange that the dishes were grouped in numbers. It was numbered 1 through 6; 1 and 2 seem to be appetizers, 3 and 4 soups and salads, 5 are the entrees, and 6 are the desserts. This wasn’t explained to us, although I’m pretty sure I came to a fair assumption. Why just not label it as such? Again, is this a new “thing” with restaurants that I’ve never heard of?
Like I always said, in every dining experience, good food covers a multitude of sins. And boy, with the food we had, they could have written the menu backwards, I would still have forgiven them. It was THAT good!
I was never a big fan of cornbread, but this was so good, I actually had two orders of this to-go.
All this time, I ate my fish with some sort of sauce or dip. The combination of corn and roasted peach together with the snapper is absolutely delicious.
D knows that I love chorizo so he lovingly picked it all out and gave it to me. Love!
This was definitely one of our better dinners. D was happy with his Joquet Chinon 2014 as I was with my daiquiri. Sometimes in life, we just have to trust our instincts. I’m glad that we did tonight.
