Recently, I stumbled upon a gem called Surf Rider while exploring the neighborhood. This place is a haven for seafood lovers, offering a 'Daily Fresh' menu that boasts seafood caught the same day. You can taste the freshness in every bite, and the best part? It's not fishy at all. Each meal comes with a choice of two sides, which change daily, adding a nice surprise element to every visit.
The variety here is impressive. Even if you're not into seafood, like me, there are plenty of other delicious options. I tried their chicken pasta and was delighted by its flavor. My companions had the flounder dinner and the chopped hamburger steak dinner, both of which received high praises for their generous portions and tasty preparation. However, not all experiences were perfect. A friend had a less than stellar experience with a seafood platter that was dry and lacked seasoning, and the broccoli side was disappointingly bland.
Despite that one hiccup, the overall vibe of Surf Rider is welcoming, with staff that make you feel right at home. The decor might be a bit dated, but it's a small quirk in an otherwise fantastic dining experience. Whether it's a casual date night or a special family celebration, this place has something to please everyone. I'm already planning my next visit!
