Still at the beach and I mentioned earlier that I bought Restaurant.com gift certificates for 2 local restaurants here in Destin. One was the infamous Gravel Road restaurant that has been featured in Southern Living for their grouper sandwich. The other was a place called Bluz and we tried it tonight.
We normally have one night that we take a break from seafood and do something different. Bluz was excellent and we really enjoyed our meal. Everyone ate every last bite of what we ordered and the girls ate like linebackers.
The bonus I mentioned? I would have never noticed this restaurant or even thought about trying it if it wasn't for Restaurant.com. I love the feature that you can view the menu before you buy and we had a large, wonderful Bluz Special pizza and a hot antipasto platter for 2 for a grand total of $23.00 including a 20% tip! The platter had good sized appetizer portions of calamari, homemade ravioli, cheese dipping sauce, marinara sauce, spinach-artichoke-crap Florentine Dip, Bruschetta, chicken tenders and their bread. We all ate like kings and it was so good. The Bluz Special Pizza was pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, onion and fresh basil. Awesome!!
Bluz looked like a fun place also- karaoke was tonight and they clearly have an after dinner appeal. One of the things I love about Restaurant.com is their target clients are good, authentic restaurants that aren't chains (most of the time or if they are- good chains) that offer great food.
And- if you haven't climbed on board with Restaurant.com or wonder if restaurants would give you an attitude or you're embarrassed to use one- don't be! We had just sat down, gave her our printout and 3 minutes later- 2 women came in with their printout in hand! The chef came out and talked with us. We had just told our waitress how much we enjoyed the food and how we would have never gone there without the gift certificate. He said he has had more business at night and lunch since he started using the program and how happy he had been with it.
Restaurant.com found us a great restaurant that will become part of our vacation traditions when we come to Destin.
