PS.My heart goes out to all the people who had loss from Hurricane Irene. We have dear friends whose home in Vermont was washed away.

Avalon - The Diving Horse

The Diving Horse is an upscale restaurant in downtown Avalon. Excellent service and superb food made for a perfect night.

We started with field greens with an excellent combination of strawberries, beets, pistachios and vinaigrette.

For appetizer - fried oysters with pancetta and creamy potato salad. A refreshing combination.

Main course a was perfectly grilled filet mignon with flavorful bordelaise sauce, asparagus and potatoes.

another great entree pan seared scallops with pearl pasta.

Cape May - The Ugly Mug

Ugly Mug is a casual bar on the outdoor mall in Cape May. I have always remembered them for their clam chowder and we recently stopped in for lunch. I was not disappointed. Piping hot with chunks of clams. We also enjoyed cheese steaks.
