Oceanaire - Top Chef ‘Brian Malarkey’ in the House

October 12, 2007

My lovely wife decided to suprise me and fly some of the fam from SF to join in celebrating my birthday. We had an awesome evening. The restaurant is killer and the crab cakes are to die for. (I love crabcakes.) The place is kind of pricey but the food is superb and the service is excellent. For those of you who are ‘Top Chef’ fans Brian Malarkey came by our table to wish me a happy bday.(Kind of cool, we are big fans) He even stopped by to watch us pop the Cristal. All in all, we had a wonderful time. The only drawback is that there is a 65 dollar per person minimum for parties of 10 or more. It is not the place to go, if your guests are used to ordering a salad and a coke.
