We have a monthly dinner outing with great friends. The object of the evening is to take the
other couple to anew place we have never been to and enjoy a meal. Well last night was our friends turn and man
did they knock it out of the park. We
went to the Flying Boat Tap Room in Belleview.
We arrived to a full parking lot. The place is set up like an old airport
bar. Huge prop on the front wall. Next to
the open kitchen with all of the busyness that creates.
We were seated in the back room at an ample table. The beer menu is on big screen TV’s. Last night all 21 places were filled. Lot’s of IPA’s and Stouts. But the first one was a cider which was described
as a cream sickle. I am not a beer person.
But I do enjoy a Cider every now and again. We sampled it, as you can all 21
selections. It tasted like a cream sickle
and I was amazed. I still enjoyed a bottle of Cabernet off the small wine list.
The menu is exhausting.
Everything you can imagine Tapa’s, Sandwiches, Pizza, Entrees and
sides. What a selection. We started with the garlic Truffle Tater
Tots! They were amazing, followed by the
grilled octopus of the charts. Then I
had the Flying Frenchman, their take on a French Dip. The wife got the Lobster pizza. The friends another pizza they chose the ingredients
on. Every dish was perfectly done! From
the Jus on the Flying French, the lobster on the pizza not over cooked. Just a pleasure all around.
Ok I’ll mention something here. Your food comes out whenever it’s ready. The order last night was tots, Octopus, my
sandwich, the wives pizza, and then the friend’s pizza. I thought that a bit strange but every dish
arrived hot and ready to eat. We were
splitting everything so in the end it worked perfectly for us. But know your food will not come all together
like you might expect.
I cannot recommend this place high enough. If you can get over the food coming out in progression
this is a must stop. If you are a beer
lover you might be over whelmed with all of the choices. We are already
planning a return to try the things on the menu we wanted last night but knew
we couldn’t eat because we were so full.
The pizzas are 12 inches ample for the 4 of us and took plenty home as
leftovers.
Run do not walk to the Flying Boat Tap Room!!!
Bon Appetit,
