No fish for me lately, but plenty of water. We are up at Lakeside, Michigan.
Elizabeth had the panko crusted yellow Lake Michigan perch and liked it. I just am not a fan of panko.
This was at Frankie's Other Place in Union pier. I had rack of lamb and count it as the best in years. We spent a night there eating and talking and just had a grand time. We even called Frank and talked him into a late night drink along with some hog wings that are famous here.
Here is the Yelp review I wrote:
The ad in the local New Buffalo paper caught our interest. A twenty dollar multicourse deal and live entertainment. We were delighted with the food, service and the music although to really hear that we had to go in the bar area. We ended up ordering the more expensive choices, the perch in Panko batter, the rack of lamb, escargot. All were delicious. I grabbed a bottle of ménage a trois and my wife had a fancy martini, both on sale that night, An attentive staff kept us relaxed and well served. All were friendly and very accessible. The early dinner music was what dinner music should be. So often I'm annoyed by harsh sounds in restaurants played too loud. This music created the ambiance desired for leisurely dining. After dinner we moved from dinner to the bar where Keith Scott played some really fine blues guitar and engaged us with friendly questions and conversation. He was very good and we called our blues loving son to come and meet us for drinks and Keith's second set. It was quite a night. Finally, I just can't say enough about Jessica who was attentive to us the entire night. She helped us decide what to order and even after we moved into the bar she stopped and made certain we were happy and having fun. Such a personable and pleasant young woman, good humored and very knowledgeable, Jessica supplied the customer focused attention that would encourage us to come back and without any of that stuffiness we sometimes encounter from staff in upscale eateries. She was just delightful. Our only complaint was that the music was advertised in the paper to start at six but did not start until seven. We were there from six until almost ten. We were not unhappy, and we never felt rushed to finish or that we were hanging around too long. The place seemed pretty busy with late diners, but many missed a closer listen to the blues in the bar. I'd recommend an after dinner drink.
I am thinking that the fish at home are biting.
And Elizabeth bought me a set of nine foot oars I found on Ebay for my birthday. They should arrive soon after we are home.
