Sometimes, we are just in the mood for a drink or two and
some small bites at a local place on a relaxing day. Runyon’s
in Seaford fit the bill perfectly this day.
Runyon’s is a full-service Tavern with a complete menu and daily specials (Figure 4, 5),
but for today we were looking for a few cocktails and three appetizers. Today’s cocktails included Jack on the Rocks
and Cosmopolitans. The Small plates
included Oysters, Buffalo wings, and Clam soup. The oysters (Figure 1) were BluePoints from
local waters, fresh, plump, and creamy with a hint of brininess. The Oyster arrived tableside with cocktails
sauce and lemon, but as I like my Oysters, al natural neither was needed nor
tried. The Buffalo Chicken Wings Figure
2) were piping hot, crisp, and with just enough kick to make them exciting
without causing a nuclear meltdown of ones’ gastrointestinal track. The wings came plated with celery and carrot
sticks and a delicious blue cheese dressing on the side. Last up was the soup of the day, which was a
local variation on a New England clam chowder (Figure 3). Rich and creamy but a bit lighter than a
traditional New England. Plenty of clams
and clam flavor complemented with a bit but not overpowering smokiness from the
bacon, filling meal in its own right.
It was the perfect mid-afternoon late lunch as a local place
just 5 minutes from home. Runyon’s tavern
continues to exceed expectations as the local tavern of choice.
