You have to make the commitment to go to Pilley's island but it is totally worth it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us.

I did not expect to find a gourmet restaurant with a gourmet chef so far out in the bay, I was…read morewrong. I am a conneseur of various foods I search far and wide for the ultimate experiences of flavor. I met my match the other day. I was greeted kindly, the staff were all excellent, and I could joke around with them too. The chef would come out and chat with me whenever he had time which was very good. The decor and atmosphere is great, krock was playing in the background but not too loud, I love classic rock, not the modern stuff being blasted in most places. The craft beers are unique, and I had to get a glass jug filled full of an ale with notes of fruit and fresh hops. In the gift shop the best muscle I've ever eat, a variety of sauces and sea salts, among other things. But the main thing the meal: I ordered the tomahawk steak dinner... The beef is obviously Angus and fed well to have great marbling (only a few points below wagyu/kobe) with lean muscle of sirloin quality. It was cooked souse vide for maximum tenderness and seared with a compound butter. When I bit into the first slice i cut it was an explosion of flavor and juices through my entire mouth and some of it dripped down off my lips, absolutely amazing, It was a climax of flavor like on food wars the animation. I'm not a huge lover of carrots and vaggies but whatever was done with them put a fantastic taste on them. The caramelization of the mushroom and onion was done separately because they cook at different rates, the onion had its natural taste but was also sweet with a unique flavor that coats the pallet. The mushrooms were another explosion of flavor that I can barely describe, regular mushroom deliciousness x1000. To top it all off the chef brought me extra compound butter to dip things into, which just made the flavors overwhelming and got me to try a fish sauce? of sweet peppers that blew my mind as a fish lover too. In conclusion 10/10 5 stars I will be back, and when I gets a woman and a few dollars I'll be staying put for a while and see what the suites are like.
