“Radar” Rob, Indiana Bones and I headed downtown this afternoon to seize lunch at Blue Heaven. Neither of us had been there in awhile so we had been actually wanting ahead to it. Discovering parking close by is an actual ache. We ended up parking in lots a few blocks away for $10, however I might recommend simply take a cab and completely eradicate the ache of parking.
In contrast to coming right here for breakfast the place the wait time will be ludicrous, we obtained a desk straight away for lunch, and we might nonetheless order breakfast till 2:00PM! Blue Heaven has indoor and outside seating, the latter of which you will need to share with the native chickens that hang around right here. Since Indie got here with us we had been seated exterior. For the reason that climate was completely excellent at present, the backyard setting was very snug. Initially, I used to be a bit of upset that we had been seated by the dwell musician that was performing, but it surely turned out high quality because the music was first rate and never too loud.
Our waitress approached us shortly after we had been seated and we each ordered waters and our entrees. As a result of we might nonetheless order breakfast, I did. Shrimp and grits. Radar obtained a contemporary fish sandwich. And Indie ordered a plate of bacon. Our meals was introduced out in a really well timed method.
The shrimp and grits had been served in a bowl with a aspect of fruit and a slice of banana bread. The shrimp had been overcooked, and all the dish was a bit bland, however that was remedied with a little bit of salt. The bacon was cooked crispy as ordered. The fish sandwich, served with a scrumptious vinegar based mostly coleslaw, was a great measurement and really tasty, though there was a number of mayo on it.
Once we had completed our meals our server got here again by and requested if we wish any key lime pie for dessert. We declined, however I occur to know that they serve top-of-the-line on the island. You should buy an entire pie to take residence or again to your lodge, and it could be nicely price it.
Whereas I can’t say that the service was unhealthy, Radar and I each thought that the waitress was simply going by means of the motions. She was probably not nice or making an attempt to make the expertise any greater than it was, sitting at a desk and consuming meals.
Blue Heaven additionally has a cute little present store which carries artwork by native artists, books, t-shirts, and different touristy items that might make a pleasant memento of your island keep.
