Also, the St. Croix Chopped salad is made of chopped greens, grilled chicken, tomatoes, blue cheese, bacon, Granny Smith apples, roasted corn, macadamia nuts and honey-lime vinaigrette. “One of the things that have really taken off is our Veggie Side Menu,” he said. “People talk about it a lot. Everybody comes in asking about the wrinkled green beans.” Longboard’s Wrinkled Green Beans are fresh beans flash fried and tossed with our secret sweet sauce. There is also the Asparagus Addiction that is beer batter tempura spears with sweet-hot dipping sauce. The Mexican Street Corn features grilled corn on the cob with Mexican aioli, spices, cotija cheese and lime wedges, and the Grilled Artichoke is half of a whole artichoke steamed then grilled, served with lemon-mayo dip sauce. About half way through the summer, a dinner menu was added to the mix, offering higher end entrees that are always changing. Moving into the fall season, Vach said the dinner menu will be expanded. The proprietor pointed out the Pan Seared Ahi made with a Thai chile glaze, pineapple chutney, and Asian slaw. Also, the Grilled Lamb Chop Lollypops made with premium

chops, rosemary and garlic rubbed and a sweet cilantro-pesto. He added there is also two fresh catches offered that are purchased locally and prepared in different styles. As winter approaches, Longboard Café will be having specials on different nights of the week, such as a comfort food night, $2 taco night and a burger and beer night. Starting mid- to late-September, a Sunday brunch will be added with a full Bloody Mary bar. Additionally,
business express lunch menu will be introduced offering items with a short prep time for those who eat lunch on the go. The most recent addition that started on Monday is a daily happy hour special from 5-6 p.m. where you can buy one drink and get one free. “The summer has been outstanding,” Vach said. “We were so popular at Sunset Island we got a lot of support from there to start off and now the word is around town. We
are getting really good reviews, people are coming and sending others back, so I am really happy with the product and I am optimistic for the winter time once more locals learn about us … I figure if the food is good, people will come.” On Wednesday, Sept. 25, Longboard Café will be throwing a local’s grand opening party starting at 5 p.m. with free hors d'oeuvres, menu samples, and reduced drink prices, plus live entertainment.
