The wife and I found ourselves in the Brownwood area this
afternoon and decided to give Blue Fin a try for lunch. We were sitting outside right away by a
smiling personable young lady. Once
seated our server was right on the spot asking for drinks. We order a bottle of wine, more on that
later. Looking over the menu there were
a lot of great choices for someone who doesn’t eat meat, the wife. We made of choices and ordered. The food came in a very timely manner and was
beautifully presented. Props to the
kitchen because it was very busy in the restaurant. The wife’s crispy Fish Tacos with fries, Me
Pesto Cobb salad. The fish tacos were
fantastic huge pieces of perfectly fired Cod atop a well stacked crispy Taco
shell. The fries were top notch piping hot and seasoned with just the right
amount seasoning salt, add some mayo for dipping and all was great. The Pesto Cobb Salad arrived as ordered, sans
cucumbers. I normally do not like a dressed salad because it is either overdressed
or undressed. This time they got it
right. The salad was full of great
crunch, smoked corn kernels, bacon. As
well as cherry tomatoes, Village Grown greens, carrots, and avocado, one of my favorite
salad ingredients. It was delicious and
very filling. We both couldn’t find anything that wasn’t spot on with either
dish.
We ordered a bottle of 83 Rose. The “83” refers to the
department number of the Var, the winery's home county in Provence-Alpes-Côte
d'Azur. We found the wine to be onion skin in color. On the nose we got, hints of strawberry,
peaches with a slight herbal note. On the
palate it was delightful, beautifully balanced between fruit and acidity lovely
finish of strawberries and raspberries. Highly recommend this one if you see
it.
Enjoy,
