I think it's time for Philippe to publish a cookbook that includes how he managed to change the staff's direction. Probably would be a great inspiration and a basic guide for up and coming chefs. If they taste half as good as they look, all I can say is bravo!

I had the right to remain silent...but I didn't.

Bob~ I also use the word dishes. I think it is actually not used often to describe an entree. LOL Correct me if I am wrong~

Philippe, did you post those pictures to make my mouth water? I'll take one lamb with goat cheese, a mixed seafood plate,a crab meat rillete and the turnover looks AMAZING but I cant get myself to put a snail in my mouth. Can you fill mine with something else?

Wow, can't wait to stop by on our next visit. Everything looks fantastic. I'm with you cuznvin, can't handle snails or for that matter sushi. No offense to sushi lovers, but where I'm from we have another name for sushi- fishing bait.

New menu looks great, have made plans with friends to dine one evening there. Is the seafood buffet offered in late October? I recall at one time it was only offered during high season so we missed it each year by a week or two.

Thank you all for your kind comments here and on my blog... The matter of fact is that most of you are my source of inspiration ! You supported us so much at Tabba Khady that when we decided to close it, and when I took over Captain Oliver's, there were no way I would let you down ! It was challenge as I wrote, but so far so good and I expect it will last.
Ummm for the one who do not like snails.. here is "your" challenge ! Come to Capt. O. and try mine! You may be very surprised...close the eyes, don't think it is a snail, imagine something else and try...they are so soft and so fine that they melt in the mouth. Plus the fresh garlic creamy sauce dominate a little bit the escargot taste...I have a very unique recipe who make it easy for "first timers"...
This year I decided to maintain the buffet all year round and so far we are doing great ( so great that we require reservation because every saturday we are fully booked with more than 150ish guest).. so except while we are close for vacation in september, the buffet is every saturday night, even on October, but like I said...: please reserve your table!

Kind Regards,
Philippe

Ill think about it! The soft and melt in your mouth is what is getting me...LOL

Philippe, We'll have to try your buffet on Sat and do HER'S on a Wed.Is your buffet only a seafood type or is it similiar to HERS.

I didn't went to HERS since a while, but I beleive that ours is a bit different, not much, even though it is not a seafood only buffet. Ours have also meat and poultry, all type of hors d'oeuvres, etc... along with all kind of seafood. I should take time on wednesday to visit HER.

Kind Regards,
Philippe

Hi Philippe! Your photos look mouthwatering! Although we don't eat any seafood, the presentations that you have taught your staff are admirable. They learned well so I give them much credit and you are a good teacher, patient and forgiving! Your non-seafood dishes look delish but unfortunately it will be a long time before we get over there on a nighttime basis (you know the story). But I wish you a full house every night. You deserve it.

Life is not a child's game of follow the Leader. Instead, life is more about finding one's own purpose in life....your life's plan, and then making a positive difference on earth.

Philippe, Is the buffet an All U Can Eat type with unlimited wine, lobster, Prime Rib, & desert .Thanks, Bob
