I appreciate that many folks like that place. It was a madhouse so clearly that is so! But, I want my peel and eat shrimp deveined. That splits the shell and is cleaner and easier to peel. Sorry, that should be a standard.

Your correct, the Rustic Inn is not the place to go for peeled and cleaned shrimp or quiet conversation. It’s impossible to devein shrimp with their shell on. It’s simple to do once you peel them.

 

You would enjoy the atmosphere much better at Joes Stone Crabs. Another South Florida landmark.

 

How was the crowd at Rustic Inn. Typically it requires a wait to get a table outside on the intercostal were it is much quieter. Every good ring of the bell requires heavy striking with the mallet on the table.

 

Most Southern Seafood Restaurants have brown butcher paper for table top and a good bib.

 

Take care of Harmony as we will be on her next Saturday. My family is from Louisville area although I was born in Miami.

Our menu tonight. a3fd56187ae094a807e702f039ba0e60.jpg

But our dining guide will be planning our dining experience this evening. It's all about trust he says. The DH thinks trust is earned... we shall see.

I can't get my wife to go to Wonderland, she isn't much on foo foo type food, were you eat and after the meal feel like you need to hit up the nearest burger joint to eat again. Ha! Let me know if you think it is worth it.

Ha! We thought the same thing! Yet we are having an amazing meal! The plan was crap pizza at sorentos. But that won't be necessary. Our waiter is amazing! So is the food.

Ok. Our dining guide (not waiter) brought out extra shrimp - the best thing I've eaten this week! Then my DD said "this salad is the best thing I've eaten this week". So, he brought the girls more salad he's amazing. Love him!! 7721ddc3a02880fc4c3effda344207e8.jpg

Entrees did not disappoint. I had the impression the food was too esoteric to be enjoyed. That's just wrong. The entrees were a treat. Beef,

Seafood and vegetarian.

Crispy branzino

what is waiter's name...maybe we will go if I can talk her into it. She wants to go to Izumi, but it seems to be booked, hopefully we can get decent time when we get on board. Enjoy your meal!

 

 

 

Hey Levonfan, his name is Rigor. He was amazing! He brought out more of things we loved. We shared "who liked what (beef, no beef, seafood only, veggies only...) and he did the ordering. The dinner will not be forgotten. Good luck!!! You can get sushi anywhere. This is a once in a lifetime experience.

Dessert was icing on the cake of an outstanding dinner. This was a graduation celebration for the girls and a night they will not forget. Dessert was a spectacle. But, to my surprise it tasted as good as it looked! dd52b9db65aa6c5006a03a6b1aff793d.jpg

The World I believe? Dark chocolate shell with peanut butter inside with a hot caramel sauce. Oh yeah. It was that good!!

The aftermath once the hot caramel was poured over.

The forbidden fruit was my fav! I'm pretty sure it had key lime pie inside. Along with a coconut crumble. Delicious!!de6e077ce603e08aadd9d459b3cc54d0.jpg

This "snail" had crazy good sorbet inside.
