“Mom, when are you and Dad going to come out to the Restaurant and listen?”
Hmmm? What? Listen? What was he talking about?
“I’m singing at the restaurant on Tuesday nights. Didn’t Dad tell you?”
How did I miss this? I try to pay attention…
“Uh, I’m sorry Daniel. He probably did, and I’ve suffered a stroke or something.” I feebly responded with my standard answer. “Tell me more.”
Our eldest son Daniel has been serving at the Corkscrew Grill in Lake Mary and now is providing their Tuesday night music from 7 – 9 pm. We’ve been out to hear him a couple of times now and have really enjoyed the music and the food. It was a very sweet experience; eating a delicious meal and listening to Daniel cover song after song. We knew he could sing… we just didn’t know he could do this!
The restaurant is located in the Target plaza on Lake Mary Boulevard, and has great ambiance and food. I had the Baked Salmon with Ginger-Coconut Pesto, and Don had the Pistachio-Encrusted Rack of Lamb. Both were delicious. The restaurant is nicely laid out with tables, booths, and even a special area for private dining.
I don’t know how often we’ll get up there to listen—school nights are tough, but it has been a great evening each time we’ve gone. My favorite songs of the evening were “Hallelujah” by Rufus Wainwright (great song—nice cover!) and James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain”, which Dan threw into the set to make his Mom feel nostalgic. (Thanks, Daniel.)
So, if you’re looking for a nice night out, good food, and a little music, try the Corkscrew Grill in Lake Mary.
