on a happier note to our Xmas travels, we had a splendid meal at Bonefish Grill in Ormond Beach, FL. It's a chain, but me'foundeth a couple links higher than the norm.
I had calamari appetizer - perfectly done with an excellent sauce.
There is/was? a restaurant just off I-95 in Connecticut above Stamford, CT that had the best ever calamari. Somehow they got the coating/breading to stick more uniformly and got it super-tasty crispy. I've not found that particular skill of execution in other restaurants - I keep trying . . . but anyway the Bonefish calamari is on my recommended list.
the bone in rib eye was excellent - at request well-done,,,, still very tasty.
crab cakes also excellently received.
I had mahi Oscar - grilled just right, succulent sauce, asparagus spears and crab chunk-lettes. bit light on the crab but otherwise a very good dish.
chains being chains one never quite knows how quality is going to turn out - they actually don't Fedex the same chef all over . . . - but the menu has lots of selection and it's a place I've put on my 'do-it-again' list.
Cost: medium-ish - about $30/head including tips, excluding alcohol
