TIDBITES SAGA:

Yesterday, Thursday, April 21, 2011, Ted, Bob , Robert and I went to the opening night of a new restaurant here in Milton, DE.

It was great!!!

It's called the "BROADKILL BOATHOUSE." It's located right on the Broadkill River, next to Wagamon's Pond—excellent and pretty location.

They're trying real hard to bring good food to Milton...and succeeding. It's not haute cuisine but it's better than most: I had raw oysters, a Caprese Baguette (buffalo mozzarella and tomato sandwich on a great roll) and chipolte mashed sweet potatoes (hot). For dessert I had creamy cheesecake topped with creme brulee! and delicious coffee.

Ted had a "Hudson Hot Potato" with lots of toppings. Bob had a "Gouda Melt" with steak, mushrooms, onions, gouda and tomato aoli...delicious. Robert had a lovely pork chop that he raved about.

Other items include: "Ratoes" stuffed jalapenos with shrimp; several interesting salads; a Cuban sandwich; Fried Oysters; Monte Cristo; Fish Ruben; Pulled Pork; Flounder; Salmon with a strawberry sauce; Fish and Chips; and two pennes: Tequila-Lime and Vodka. All-in-all, an interesting menu worth exploring.

They didn't skimp on the decoration either. A BIG improvement for this space: a nautical theme with many buoys.

Ray, the owner, is very nice, eager to take suggestions and vigilant about the quality.

Wrap-up: a very enticing restaurant with good food and a very nice atmosphere—a great addition to Milton cuisine.
