Meg and I have talked for awhile about writing a food blog. Its mostly because I have the world’s worst memory and can never remember if I liked a place or not. Here’s a quick start.
Tonight we went out to 717 South in Tampa–an italian/asian fusion restaurant. Meg ordered the crab cake for dinner with jalapeno sweet potatoes; I had the miso and sake tilapia with wasabi mashed potatoes. We both had the house salad (the highlight of the night for me). My fish wasn’t bad, but wasn’t memorable. Meg’s crab cake was quite good, and the jalapeno sweet potatoes were great. For desert, Meg had an excellent creme brulee, I had an uninspired key lime pie. Good news–I only ate about half the pie, and they took it off the bill without us asking. That was appreciated. With one glass of wine each, the bill came to a reasonable 70 dollars before tip (that’s with the two deserts).
All in all a nice meal, though I’m not in a big rush to go back.
