Style over substance

Due to an excessive work schedule, this week in food has been - well abysmal.

Since we had no food left in our house, we broke down and stopped at Bahama Breeze yesterday on the way back from - well you really don't want to know where we were, but it was on the way home.

Bahama Breeze is the kind of a place that you really, really want to like because the atmosphere is relaxing and they have a great decorator. It's a fun place really and you want the food to be fun too.

The Mojitos are fun. The Bahama Mamas are fun. Sadly the tres leche cake, is not.

By the way waiters should never say, "So I guess you've never been here before." –Well, actually we have four times...

Trip #1 - not excited about the Coconut Shrimp and wish I could remember why;

Trip #2, not excited about the onion rings, because the only part that had flavor was the breading and the dipping sauces couldn't save them;

Trip #3 - the Tropical Bread Pudding was way too sweet (nothing to balance it) and the Paella was just a bad choice for a person who doesn't love vegetables (my fault);

Trip #4 - well you know about the cake but I forgot to mention that the menu said it was topped with dark chocolate mousse - and I found it had the milkiest version of dark chocolate I have ever tasted - hmmmn, maybe that is where they put all the milk that was supposed to be in the cake.

All of this said, I am determined to find something on the menu that I like (to eat) because I still like the place. Maybe the sorbet could work...
