Bartolotta's at Boerner

Attended the Bartolotta's fish fry at the Boerner Botanical Gardens on Friday.

Live blues band, nice range of Sprecher beers and sodas, excellent salad bar (two great potato salads and two great cole slaws).

The best clam chowder I ever had.

The entrees were deep-fried shrimp, deep-fried cod, deep-fried perch, and pan-fried walleye. I tried them all and they were all excellent. The walleye was my favorite.

Crispy fries were outstanding.

I had the blood orange sorbet, served with a light crisp cookie and a piquant blood orange sauce, for desert. Best sorbet I ever had.

It was a wonderful experience, and well worth repeating.
