Worthless Review

Falling sick from some mysterious virus, I managed to get through a week of working in Langley. With it being Valentine's Day, Glo and I went to Shore Club for dinner. I have a horrible palate, I can't taste out ingredients. My memory of food is awful, ask me to compare two dishes, and I'll draw a blank. Combine this with my stuffed nose and you have the worse food critic in the world...

Upon entering Shore Club, we were greeted by the hostess who offered to take my jacket. She then led us up a flight of spiraling stairs to the second level. The restaurant / lounge had a romantic atmosphere with dark candle lighting and a piano on the first floor.

Looking at the menu we chose to start with the Clam Casino appetizer. Our waiter told us the clams this time of the year were really small, so we chose the Popcorn fried shrimp. The penny sized shrimps had what looked like ramen seasoning on it. Dipped in an orange mayo sauce I started to eat the shrimp. Texture wise it felt like popcorn chicken, taste wise it was kind of tasteless. Maybe it was the sauce? Maybe it was the seasoning? Maybe it was the fact that my nose was completely clogged. Whatever the reason was I was far from impressed.

Then came the entrees. I had the rib steak, and Glo had the buttermilk fried chicken. My steak felt a little more cooked then medium rare, and tasted a little tasteless. Glo's chicken was surprisingly tasteless, despite the buttermilk chicken skin.

We ordered scallop potatoes and salt and vinegar string fries to compliment our entrees. The salt and vinegar fries could've used some more salt and vinegar, and the potatoes could've used some more taste.

Glo seemed to really like the dinner, she tried to describe the taste to me, but it just wasn't the same. Looks like I'll have to go back.
