Ocean Ave Seafood, located in Santa Monica, special Dine LA dinner -
Bread and butter, very good
Clam Chowder - with Applewood smoked bacon. Very rich and creamy.
Oyster Sampler, 1/2 Dozen - Chef’s selection of fresh oysters.
A close up. I don't have raw oysters too often as Owen does not like them, but I think I will admit that I prefer their preparation either fried or Rockefeller'd. These were decent though, very briny and fresh tasting.
Mixed Seafood Pasta - Handmade linguine pasta tossed with clams, mussels, shrimp, scallop and calamari in fresh marinara sauce. Daphne got this and she seemed to like this a lot.
I think it was some sort of dessert wine, a muscato. Daphne loves this kind of dessert wine.
Grilled Salmon - with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and pinot noir reduction. I love me some salmon, and mashed potatoes were excellent. The skin was nice and crispy on this preparation, and thankfully not overdone. Very good.
Traditional Crème Brulee - Caramelized and served with raspberry. Rich, sweet, although could have used more crunchy caramelized topping.
Warm Chocolate Bread Pudding - Served with Vanilla Bean Sauce. I think Owen would love loved this, as these are two things he loves the most.
