My dinner at Jules Restaurant
When the Sun sent me down to Ocean City recently to write a Bloggers at the Beach story for the Travel section, I didn't do any reviewing.
I did, however, have dinner at Jules Restaurant. Its strip mall exterior doesn't prepare you for the handsome dining room inside.
I had the luxury of ordering exactly what I wanted from the small, somewhat unusual menu created by owner/chef Jules Adam Sanders and changed frequently. That turned out to be an artichoke with butter and grated parmesan cheese and his version of oysters Rockefeller. ...
There were other more interesting dishes I could have ordered, like drunken duck or the house-smoked fish plate; but an artichoke and oysters Rockefeller were what I wanted. The oysters were particularly notable. The plump, sweet shellfish; spinach; and hollandaise had a beautiful balance of flavors, with no one dominating.
With a glass of sauvignon blanc and not one but two of the freshly baked rolls and butter, I didn't even have room for dessert.

Were people in shorts and t-shirts in this place, Elizabeth? It looks pretty elegant...
I wasn't, but some were. It is the beach, after all. From what I hear, only at Nantuckets will you feel uncomfortable if you underdress. EL

You got in, seated and didn't watch five groups of locals arrive, order and eat before you? You had to tell them who you were.

Beach Week is just Dining@Large. Bloggers at the Beach is an ongoing feature for th print travel section and the Bay & Beach page on the Web site that involves bloggers going to the ocean and focusing on their area -- like Unleashed doing pets at the beach, plus a print story. EL
