The Cove in Palmetto Bay

 oops, I went there in February for the first time and thought I posted this.  We went back again last week.

Palmetto Bay is a quiet gated community on the north side of the island.  We are in the process of purchasing a lot to build a house on.  The cost of building a house here is about $100 a square foot for a wood house and a little more for a concrete house.  I will be blogging about house building on this site starting next week.

Palmetto Bay has a restaurant called the Cove, a dive shop and a swimming pool.

The restaurant has delicious food, but a little more than we like to pay for food (what can I say, we're cheap!)

The first time I ordered something and they were out - I think it was the pulled pork so I got a hamburger instead, Greg had the fish dish.  The second time we went for dinner and I ordered the Sea Bass and it came with a baked potato and steamed veggies.  Greg ordered the curry chicken and rice.  Both dishes were delicious.  The curry dish had a little heat to it, but not enough that I couldn't eat it  -I'm a whimp when it comes to spicy food.  Of course since we will be building a house and living there, we will be back again.

 Oops, didn't realize it's been a whole year since I've posted last.   Well we we wanted to go to The Wok, but they didn't open until 12 and it was 11:20, so I didn't want to wait 40 minutes - we walked next door to the bakery to see if they offered anything for lunch.  They had a large lunch menu including soups, salads, burgers and salads.   The burger didn't mention french fries and since it was a bakery, I wasn't expecting big portions, so Greg ordered the burger and I ordered the pesto pasta salad and we were going to split each item.  Well we get our food and the burger is huge and it came with french fries, so we split his lunch and took mine home to eat for dinner.  Of course I had to nibble on the pasta first, it was delicious.

 This is a great place for all you coffee lovers.  They have a bunch of different coffee drinks and they sell their own roasted coffee for $16 a lb.    I don't drink coffee so the only reason we tried this place is Greg won a free lunch there.  He received a drink, sandwich and dessert from a radio contest.  Funny thing about the sandwich  - they only have 1 Yes that's right - 1 (ONE) sandwich.  It's a Panini and you have your choice of 1 meat and one cheese for $8.  You can add on extra meat for another $2 - I would recommend this.  The sandwich comes with meat, cheese and a mayo/pesto sauce.  That's it.  No lettuce, tomatoes or anything else. Greg said his iced coffee was good. Here is our Panini Sandwiches - we both ordered bacon: They have several different desserts from Carrot Cake, brownies and their homemade icecream.  They have 7 different flavors.  I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but they have a "Family Brownie Sundae" for $25.  I had to ask..

 Ok, I'm really sorry everyone.  I was told this was a Thai restaurant - turned out it was Sushi and Chinese food. lol  We are so glad we stopped.  They have the best fried rice I've had in years, maybe ever.  We ordered pork dumplings as appetizer and split an orange chicken plate.  The dumplings were tasty and had lots of pork, the orange chicken came with broccoli with sesame seeds sprinkled, the fried rice was light and fluffy with egg, onion and soy sauce mixed in.  They don't have a very big menu, sushi, stirfry options where you add proteins to rice, or noodles, we'll have to try that next.  We will definitely be back.
