JW & I had not been out in a few weeks & had a lot of catching up to do. I had been on the aolcityguide & read that a coconut martini had made the top 10 list for LI Drinks. Well.........anything coconut & anything served in a martini glass is something this girl has got to try. I mentioned it to him & he was game. So we made reservations for Blue Honu and waited with growling stomachs.
The reservations were for 5:30 (sucky) but they only had that or 9:30 available. Neitehr of us wanted o sit down to eat at that hour so we opted for the early bird time. When we walked in, the place was practically empty. ???!!!??? There were three tables occupied & that was about it. I looked to see if they were setting up for a large group or party. Nope. We were quickly seated at the window so we could watch as all of the passersby froze on their way to find something.
It was a great place with a (albeit) pricey menu. We quickly ordered & got to talking & catching up with all of the drama stories that have happened in the last 6 weeks. I had cab corn chowder & a burger............along with the yummiest martini ever! It was coconutty...pineappley and rimmed with toasted coconut flakes. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............( so good that I bought the mixings for it last night & enjoyed a glass & a 1/2).
We left there close to 8 and headed off to get coffee. I must say that BH is a fun place to go. However, I will be sitting at the bar next time & ordering only appetizers, as they are always the best.
