George’s at the Cove

Known for it’s spectacular view of La Jolla Cove, George’s at the Cove is the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail or savor a little something from celebrity chef Trey Foshee. The food is a blend of healthy and traditional or California Modern.

For dinner, my friend Cindy & I shared the Red Wine Braised Short Ribs served with carrot puree, asparagus, swiss chard, tomato marmalade and crispy leeks. Enough to share. Other entrees of note are Northern Halibut, Filet Mignon, Duck Confit, Faroe Island Salmon, Spaghetti and Clams, Grass-Fed or Plant-Based Burgers. Prices range from $23 – $41.

We enjoyed a relaxed dinner on Level 2 complete with a view and sunset. Reservations are highly suggested.

Blu Agave

On National Margarita Day, Jeff and I decided go to Cape Coral’s newest restaurant on the Parkway so we checked into Blu Agave. This spot is family-owned with sister restaurants in Colorado and New Mexico.

The menu is extensive and traditional Mexican. Some highlights include Guacamole, quesadillas, Tortilla Soup, Salads, Dinners for Two, Fajitas, Beef, Chicken, Pork, Seafood Dishes, Burritos, Tacos. The restaurant is also open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

We loved the pico and chips with the house margarita after a long day at work. A side of guac followed and then our dinner. I had the creamy cheese enchiladas and Jeff had enchiladas verdes. The food was served on a piping hot plate.

Located at 1404 Cape Coral Parkway E in downtown Cape Coral this spot has parking in the back; outside and inside dining options. A children’s menu is also available.
