Chimayo Returns

Chimayo at the Beach Returns!

We were greatly disappointed last year when Chimayo was replaced by a Savannah Restaurant. We always enjoyed watching the sunset and having Mango Martinis with a really good appetizer. But now we find it has come back! Good times! Plus the menu and drinks are back to what they used to be. When it switched over to being a Savannah, the drinks got smaller in size, the menu got funky and the service went, well  ....  let's just say it wasn't as good. But we found ourselves there on Sunday and saw that it has reverted back to Chimayo! We're doing our Happy Dance again! And how we love to dance!

They are doing an October Lobsterfest similar to the one at The Longboard,  but the prices are a bit higher and the Lob-monsters are one per serving. The good news for those that don't want to get messy hands is that everything is shelled and ready to eat with a fork.

They also have an expanded menu for other Lobster related dishes. There's Mac & Cheese Lobster, Lobster Tacos, Lobster Fritters, Lobster Risotto, Lobster Salad and a few Lobster combination plates too. The drinks are a decent price at Happy Hour during the week and you get to watch the sun set. The best place for us to sit is at the bar because the barmen are entertaining and interesting to chat with. And from the bar, the sunset view is awesome. It almost feels like the end of a day in Maui.

If you go, the restaurant is on the beach level, right at the beginning of the pier. Friday and Saturday evenings you may need a reservation, but call them to be sure. Or just do as we do, go Sunday evening during the off season and enjoy the smaller crowd.
