Cafe Blue at Hill Country Galleria

I’ve been dining here for several years, and it never disappoints. This evening, I went out with both a soup and appetizer. The appetizer was called a “Tropical Ceviche,” a delightful blend of white fish and tropical fruit. A very nice presentation in a parfait glass. The a very traditional New England style Clam Chowder. The flavors were perfect. However, I was disappointed that there weren’t more visible chunks of clam. Finally, a new dish for me, compared to what I normally get. The shrimp brochette. This dish construction was the typical bacon wrapped shrimp. The reason I have avoided this dish is because I have found anything bacon wrapped tends to be overwhelmed by the bacon. This was NOT the case. The bacon truly complemented the shrimp flavor. There is a small sliver of jalapeño but it added only a very small amount of heat. The best part was the creamy butter sauce. Well executed!
