Lobster Shop !

Shhh!, It's a secret... The Lobster Shop on Dash Point is serving breakfast! Yep,its true, just on the weekends mind you,but a real breakfast non the less. Yeh, ok, I can hear you all now .Jim? how can we afford to have breakfast at such a fancy joint ? or I dont want to get dressed up for sunday mornin ifn I aint goin to church! yep I can hear it loud as can be, but dont be afraid Blogomaniacs cuz The Lobster Shop turned it down a bit for us commoners, it is reasonably priced and they have quite a nice menu with lots of breakfasty choices. You can still go Pinky out if you wish for they do offer champagne, Bellinis, Bloody Marys yada yada. We found out about the breakfast from our partners on sunday am, Good ol Hot T and Smoj (Ken and Val) they went there for their anniversary and noticed the Menu for B Fast. Then in turn I escorted my lovely Wife ( MSue) for our Anniversary dinner there as well and we noticed how reasonably priced it was, considering the venue an all. A quick blurb about our dinner seems appropriate, kinda funny really, I guess MSue and I are getting up there on the age scale, we went for the "Sunset Dinner", you know... Entree, soup or salad, desert all for one price if you arrive before 6 pm, and then they give you some up choices like shrimp cocktails for a buck, and martinis or manhattens for 5.95 ... Yeppers we opted for the Shrimpys and sucked down a couple of drinks apiece so our cheap "Sunset Dinner" still ran us about 90 smackers, but still worth it! I had the oysters Timmy, and they were awsome, MSue had the Calamari steak, equally awsome. For some of you who might not know, Timmy (Tim) is a friend of mine from work, oysters timmy is not the name of the Entree, him and I share a love of oysters and anything oystery, we eat em just for the burps!!! (true) Tim is also the owner of "Tims to go Catering" he is quite the good cook in his own right ,who knows maybe someday I shall Blogg him... yep my first advert.. tims2gocatering.com Check him out! Hes the real deal! What? Oh for cryin out loud ! your right ! What about the damn breakfast, I almost forgot, Ol Hot T and Smoj picked us up and we arrived at the Lobster Shop a little before 10 am, and not to worry about parking, cuz there really isnt any, but the staff takes care o biz for that , they reserve some spots right out front, so its quite easy on their customers, they have a young Lad with orange traffic cones holding each spot as people leave, and also chases away the people who come down to fish, well he doesnt' really chase em, more he just sez these spots are taken! but you know he works hard and we tipped him handsomely! Oh yeh food , Well as luck would have Ol Joe's been around, thats what Smoj ordered "Joes Special" eggs spinach cheese, maybe a little seafood in this one, she musta liked it for her plate as clean as if she licked it, she also had a Bellini to drink as opposed to her usual virgin screwdriver.... Yep chock one up for Val, it was a success. Ol Hot T had the bacon and egg "Benedict" partnered up with acute lil pile o browns or maybe it was just on a big plate....mmmm no , it was kinda dinky, and as for his Bev o choice , Hot T..... What a frikkin surprise, no one saw that comin now did ya? he just did'nt feel like a stroll on the wild side , so no Bloody Mary for Ken. He did however like his meal, although he stated the Hollandaise was a bit thick. My Sweet Bride ordered her up some CFS!!! Atta girl Foof! (her nickname) this rendition came with Egg o choice (scrambledwelldonsideofsalsa) same dinky hashbrowners, and instead of country gravy, it was topped with sausage gravy, which she said was a little flourey tasting, but still pretty good, she also had a Bellini as well as her usual Ice T w/lemon. My Breakfast Choice was semi predidictable, I would've ordered the CFS as well, but I'm smarter than that my friends! I knew that if MSue ordered it she would not eat it all and I would get bites! that way, if it was Awsome!, I would get it for nextys!, I ordered the "Country Benedict" you know the drill.... cept this one came with Linguica sausage (portugeuse) Im sure thats not spelled right, and covered with the same sausage gravy as did come with the CFS, yep ditto on the Browns, a very polite little scoop o taters, good but small. I of course had the Bloody Mary( darn tasty it was ) and I gotta say some pretty good Jo, Cafe D'arte I believe, brewed well and strong! Yumtastic! So all in all pretty good food, although the Lobster Shop may be fancy schmancy they need just a tweek on their gravy maybe they should call Tims2 go for a lesson, or even my own lovely Wife, for she makes a sausage gravy that stands alone on perfection! (Its Soup Nazi Good) I'm not jokin there Buuud! your knees will buckle, any ways it was good and we will go back, you cant beat the view!
