Light and Refreshing

Friday nights are traditionally "date" night for my husband and I. We try to leave this night for just the two of us to catch up and enjoy a dinner together. We have many favorite restaurants around town, but tonight we landed at one of my very favorites, Del Merei Grille.

Del Merei is a contemporary southern restaurant that can be "glutenous" at times (think Frickles which are fried pickles or Braised BBQ Beef Short Ribs with Mac-and-Cheese). There are also always lighter options on the menu, including fresh fish, flank steak, and grilled portabella mushrooms. This summer they also added a new dish to the menu, Lobster and Spaghetti which is a dish made up of lobster sautéed with portabella mushrooms, sun
dried tomatoes and served over zucchini “spaghetti” in white wine and xvo. The dish was flavorful and delivered on my expectations.

We did finish the meal with a slice of carrot cake (which we shared). After all, there is no such thing as a bad food - its just how much and how often we eat it!
