    We had a delightful evening at Cafe Escadrille. My prime rib was delicious and ENORMOUS. The wedge salad was the perfect combination of crisp lettuce, blue cheese and bacon bits. We all enjoyed the “mini” desserts—a great size when you want a sweet treat but had just eaten a big meal! Last but certainly not least, our server was great—she was courteous and managed the perfect balance of attentive but not hovering.

    Due to upcoming surgery, we'll be home bound to a degree for the next few months. We decided to get in one more Escadrille meal before that happens. It was a good choice. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller which while good, are showing signs of the difficulty in procuring top quality oysters. Very varied sizes of the oysters. next up we had the Mussels, this time we asked for a white wine sauce (instead of the tomato-based sauce) which was a snap for the kitchen. These were top line nice & large & really tasty. Sharon also had an Onion soup, which was really good (though be a little careful with the salt) We all had side salads that were excellent. Richard & I both had the Chilean Seabass special. These were among the best we've ever had. Sharon had the Tempura maki which she loved. Surprisingly we had room for the Keylime pie special dessert which was excellent. Another top night at our favorite restaurant.
