Its been a crazy week for us…Weddings, photo shoots, plus I auditioned for something (which I can’t really talk about now!) So I haven’t had the time to cook as much as usual. Today my post is about the food at Pierre’s Restaurant in Islamorada, Florida. Stephan and I photographed an amazing wedding and dined on some absolutely fabulous food.  We always eat wonderful food at weddings, but this was so good and unexpected I felt the need to blog about it and spread the word. I had no idea that there was a fine dining restaurant in Islamorada, as most of the restaurants are old school diner style and quite casual.  Next time you’re there, definitely check out Pierre’s Restaurant, you will not be disappointed. 

Stephan had the Filet Mignon that was served with garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, demi-glas and bernaise Sauce.

I had perfectly seasoned Mahi Mahi served over chive mashed potatoes, haricot verts and a pepper coulis.

When we got to Captiva, we decided not to stray far from the resort. That left just a handful of restaurants in Captiva. Our first night there, we ate at The Green Flash, a beautiful restaurant on the water. I had the Venetian Platter, which was very good. It had 2 giant prawns, two sea scallops, a small piece of both salmon and sword fish, and a decadent piece of pan fried polenta. Yes…. I ate like a linebacker that night…
