Dinner at the Black Palm

So far the Black Palm, a Latin restaurant in Pass-A-Grille, has had the best food we've found around here. It's not traditional Florida seafood, but you can't argue with a plantain-crusted snapper fillet with a tamarind tartar sauce, mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Corn cakes with queso fresco for a first course.

We'd go back tonight but the dressiest shoes I brought were flipflops, and I felt underdressed even for the beach.

So far...

 

 

...we've eaten at a Latin restaurant, a tapas bar, a Japanese restaurant, a funky little Italian place, a Thai restaurant, and, of course, the Reef. We didn't make it to the New York Kitchen and Crab House (Steaks, Seafood, Sushi and Chinese Food).

It's not like beach food used to be when I was a kid.
