In our last trip to Flex Mussels, we saw Al Roker sitting at the bar with his wife. Now, as you can guess, Al really knows his food. Immediately, we figured we must be doing something right...
As you look around the restaurant, the expressions say it all. Every few seconds you hear the "pop" of metallic pots being opened by waiters, as steamy aromas of regional broth seep out & fog up your glasses. The restaurant feels like Martha's Vineyard meets Manhattan. The service is nice and attentive, and the mussels are fresh... So far, in two visits, we've tried the Maine, San Daniele, Italiano and the Spaniard (always with fries)... each represents a broth with a set of different regional selections... the maine has lobster, the san daniele has proscuitto, the spaniard has chorizo... you get it. The meal is completed with freshly made donuts, filled with creamy choices like salted caramel, praline and chocolate.
Its basically the kind of place you go with your best friends, roll up your sleeves and pull an Al Roker!
It looks like a feast! Do they free refill your pot if you finish the first batch and still hungry? :o)
