This cafe offers “California fare with a twist,” as Curtis Stone describes it. He tried the Maine Lobster Club Sandwich composed of tender lobster, crisp lettuce and smoky bacon. One bite and Curtis was blown away by “the saltiness of the bacon (and) the beautiful, delicate flavor of the lobster.”
This open-air eatery features rocking dining tables and classic Southern dishes with a Creole flair. Follow Curtis Stone’s lead and try the Oysters ala’ Bama. Fresh oysters are served on a base of mustard and turnip greens and combined with crispy bacon, a buttery lime sauce and gooey cheese.
At this spot, Curtis Stone indulged in comfort coastal cuisine like shrimp and grits. Thick, cheesy grits — complete with Parmesan and Gouda — are served with spicy shrimp and a red-eye gravy made with chopped ham and a pour of coffee. Curtis proclaimed this dish “really creamy, really delicious.”
