Sustainable, crazy good food! Dinner at the Boathouse - Saugatuck Rowing Club, Westport, CT.

Happy 8th anniversary!  A grown up night out (yeah, admit it, all the parents of young children out there know what I am talking about)...  off to have dinner at the Boathouse at the Saugatuck Rowing Club...  it's all new at the restaurant and it's now open to the public (club membership not required).


The Boathouse is definitely "crazy good food".  Even better it is sustainable dining.  Notice the fresh lobster and fluke from Montauk, NY (a fishing mecca) and veggies from Long Island (yes, really veggies do grow on Long Island, but they didn't specify a location).  






We enjoyed a wonderful evening...  a table outside, sun set, and a wonderful Côtes du Rhône (red) - let the meal begin.




Appetizers of roasted oysters and a market vegetable contorno (basically a vegetable salad) started us off in a good, light direction.  Followed by chicken cooked 2 ways and homemade ravioli...  We were enjoying ourselves so much and the food was so delicious we forgot to take pictures. (Sorry!  Think this means we will have to go back, yes!)
Dessert was a homemade shortbread with blueberry compote topped with homemade vanilla ice cream.
And a tea pot to linger so the night wouldn't end, too quickly.  Then off to home...  
The Boathouse is "crazy good food", enjoy!
