Deborah owns the Wild Ginger Cafe. She cooks, she serves, she chats. It is her restaurant. And she loves food.

I ordered her lobster rolls, which was eggroll sized but wrapped in a baked phyllo shell, filled with lobster and maybe a little shrimp, mung beans and other greens. A soy-colored sauce was drizzled on top but I failed to find out more of the ingredients, as this selection was a special. The rolls were hearty- enough for a small person's dinner, and the sweet chili dipping sauce she offered was so yummy I nearly used the garnish to mop it up. But I paced myself.

Next, served with a surprising cuvee white called Beachcomber by Sextant (so smooth and creamy, but light enough to complement with ease the seabass entree), came the fish. This one blew me out of the water. A serving of Asian slaw and some grilled veggies, with potatoes Anna, was a steak of fresh seabass grilled with a raisin basil butter. Did you catch that? Raisin basil butter. Dear dear me I couldn't help but immediately start raving to her about the dish and we headed into a long conversation about food and travels. There wasn't a spot of food left on that plate.

With a yummy dessert wine she served me her homemade sorbet- blood orange. With just enough sugar to call it a sorbet, this icy treat is the perfect spring indulgence. I had to try the kiwi, and that, too, kept me quiet for some time.

A fabulous cuisine experience. A must.
