one more new restaurant

Last night we finally got over to SOMA Creekside in "downtown" Bradenton... and had a really nice meal.  We brought a fabulous champagne from Waris-Larmandier and a 1990 Pernand Vergelesses. We ordered all kinds of things to try to see if this was a place we would return to when we returned and decided YES...

yes the Cuvee Sensation was sensational! It's been sitting in the cellar since the millennium and is still so young!

and this Delarche burgundy was delicious!

here are the various menus -

an excellent tuna ceviche!

above- tater tots- not amazing but good enough- and below -fried green tomatoes which were very good-

a blurry seabass which tasted wonderful-

a worthy calamari with peanuts- and a sweet chili sauce!

we tried the last four of the five desserts - the winners were the blood orange mojito popsicle and the caramel brownie- with the strawberry cheesecake coming in close behind...

Tina offered us excellent service along with good suggestions- and we would definitely return again...
