Dining with David: Beach House

Beach House – Decatur, IL – August 11, 2011

Our customer suggested a local place for a long business luncheon.  As we crossed a lake and then rounded down toward the docks, I just knew this was going to be good.  The Beach House restaurant is located right on Lake Decatur and a wonderful spot; nice, casual atmosphere overlooking the lake.  We started off with crab cakes (New England style) and spinach & artichoke dip.  Both of these were great.  The crab cakes were spicy with a great texture and the dip was covered with cheese and served with homemade chips.
I ordered their daily specials of chicken gumbo and Ahi salad.  The gumbo was thick with chunks of sausage and chicken in a great sauce.  The Ahi tuna salad was a nice bed of greens topped with Ahi, cashews, tomatoes, sprouts and balsamic dressing.  The Ahi tuna was seared and coated with pepper that provided a great taste with the greens and balsamic.  A very good salad.
A great location with very good food; a place to try if in the area.
