Edmund's Oast, Dessert, and Dinghy

Welcome to Edmund's Oast located at 1081 Morrison Drive.  Take a drive up north of crosstown and enjoy dinner or their brunch on Sundays.  Each meal we have had here has been outstanding.  Oh and the craft beer, just try beer #46 and tell me you won't be returning!

We had a quick bite at the bar this particular evening.  We went with the Raviolo and Heritage Chicken.

There it is, #46 our favorite beer so far...

Edmund's Oast has community seating, your own booth, or you may choose to sit in the back and watch all of the action.

It was such a nice Fall evening so we decided to enjoy an after dinner drink on the patio.  

We people watched and played a game of, "what is in Jan's purse?"  The game is quite simple; Mark turns his head, reaches in and grabs an item, then he has to guess what he has in his hand. 

"Cah-ds," Mark guessed correctly with a funny Boston accent.

He called this lipstick, "lip balm."  We gave him the point, that's close enough.

This one, though, really tripped him up...

Mark thought this lip liner was a stylus.  Good guess!

We waved goodbye to Edmund's and went on our way to dessert.  Where?  We headed to Chez Nous for some coffee creme brûlée.  This was rather insane and I had to hold my hands behind my back just to keep from taking more of Mark's dessert. 

Our next stop was a late night cruise on the water.  Mark prepared the dinghy...

...and we were off!

 We kept a hopeful eye on our future...

R. Kitchen

I want to introduce you to a little neighborhood secret.  R. Kitchen has recently opened it's doors and our neighborhood couldn't be happier.  Step into Chef Ross' kitchen, literally, and watch him whip up incredible plates for lunch or dinner.  

As you sit and unwind with a glass of wine, there is a serious show going on in the kitchen.  It's almost as if you are at a cooking class.  One where the choice is yours to pay attention or converse and relax.

You can order from the menu or have the Chef's Dinner (Chef's choice of a 5 course meal).  We did one of each.

 I mentioned it was a serious show, right?  No funny business here...

Boom!

Brie cheese on toasted baguette with honey drizzled strawberries...

Scallops in the making...

Scallops on the plate...

Then came the sea bass, my favorite dish of the evening.  First, chef arranged the raw ingredients which were an amazing concoction of watermelon, mandarine oranges, ginger, garlic flakes, some herbs, and brussel sprout leaves soaked in chili oil, what?  Delish!

Chef then placed the sea bass over this raw salad with it's juices from the pan.  There were so many flavors playing off one another and they played together nicely.  There weren't any bullies in this playground.

One of the Chef's Dinner dishes, smoked mac n' cheese...

Oh, you thought you were full?  Chef's Dinner seems more like a 10 course meal rather than 5.  Here are your steak and potatoes.

Perfectly cooked steak with potatoes cut to the right thickness.  Just enough potato to sop up the remaining juices.

Oh yeah, dessert.  It's funny, no matter how full you are there is always room for sweet.  Lemoncello and coffee panna cotta.

Meet the crew.  Chef Ross is on the right...

The show never stops.  Even when you are tired and full, they continue on for their next guests...

On Monday evenings, R. Kitchen has a guest chef where they serve multiple courses.  Check out the calendar here.

What a delicious dinner!  Go, have a seat, enjoy a meal, but please don't tell too many of your friends.  We'd like it to stay our secret and always be able to find an open seat at this delightful kitchen.
