We like to go to some familiar and favorite restaurants and also venture out to try new places we may not have been before. Each participating restaurant has a special menu for the week.
Tonight we went to Shanty on the Shore in Burlington. It's a favorite place because of the great views of Lake Champlain. This restaurant features fish.
For one price, we chose from a menu of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. When I heard "lobster," there was no doubt what I would choose!
We started with cole slaw and rolls. The came the P.E.I. mussels (that's Prince Edward Island). I expected just a few, but we each received a huge bowl of mussels in broth with lemons, tomato, and spinach.
Then came the entree!
Cracking the shell is always a challenge for me. Oh, but the lobster was so sweet and good, dipped in melted butter. What a treat! It was served with a baked potato and sour cream.
To top it off came dessert - banana cream pie for Geo, and key lime pie for me. Melt-in-your-mouth creamy and good.
I asked Geo what he thought about our meal, and he said, "Excellent." I agree. Definitely, a "10."
