B-STERS REVIEW

Yeap...my nine year old son is doing a restaurant review. Are you rolling yet? Cause' we are! Ha ha! Brennen is always wanting to play a "roll" in my blog and the behind the scenes updating of it. Therefore, while at a restaurant the other night...he, Brent, and Grandma D came up with an idea to offer a restaurant review on the places we dine over the next month while here. So...after a little creation on Brent's part for the charting in excel, my creation on the photo design of Brennen's head shot and the photo ops of the food, and then Brennen's taste tests, we were set. We thought this would be a fun way for Brennen to become involved a bit on my blog for a while. He was oh so excited - as you can imagine. Unfortunately for us, he is quite the restaurant connoisseur. He loves filet's - goes for the upper end appetizers, and thoroughly enjoys food that most 9 year olds would balk at. Each time he orders a filet Mignon at a restaurant, the waiters look at us like we are nuts for allowing him to order it. However, he eats every bite of it - every time. We didn't know the habit we'd unknowingly create the first time we ever allowed him to taste our filet's, lobster, etc.

So...for those of you planning to visit the Naples, Bonita Springs, Sanibel Island, and Ft. Myers Beach areas anytime soon, keep a look out for Brennen's B-Ster review on some of our favorite hot spots as well as some of our new places that we visit during this 5 week stay.

First up was the Grill Room for lunch this afternoon. The Grill room is located at the Coconut Point Mall in Bonita Springs. They offered great outdoor dining (which is what we did) as well as a great indoor dining experience. Brennen and I both enjoyed the crab cakes for an appetizer and loved them. Kenidi did too. She scarfed them down as much as we did.

For both Brennen and I's main meal, we elected to go for the Gorgonzola grill room burger. If you hadn't guessed, our family is a HUGE lover of Gorgonzola and goat cheeses. We ask for it on burgers, atop steaks, on tomatoes, etc. Therefore, this Gorgonzola burger was right up our alley. Along with the cheese, it was loaded with bacon, balsamic soaked onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes. For the side dishes, we were given garlic mashed potatoes as well as Cole slaw. Loved them both!
From the mouth of Brennen directly, he summed up this dining experience as follows....
"It was great and couldn't get any better!" ~~Brennen Seaman

Until the next review, happy eating!
