Pacific Beach Bar and Grill- a little lunch

Welcome back to mmm-yoso!!!, the food blog.  Kirk is taking a short vacation, ed(from Yuma) is enjoying his weekend (in Yuma) and Cathy is writing a little bit today.

Hi. I wrote about the Pacific Beach Bar & Grill about three years ago, so it's time for a revisit-for you.  We were back again last week for a light shared lunch.

 
..and some football. Beers on tap are $2.75 during Saturday games, Pear Cider is $5.50. If you care. Yes, there are about 30 taps...
Nut crusted brie, served with an apricot and mango chutney (lots of red peppers and cilantro) and olive oil herbed crusty baguette is regular $8.50, but $3 off all appetizers during College football games. 
The Brie is warm and oozing....very good.
We ordered the Seafood Louie salad ($10.50), told our waitress we were going to share and it was brought out on two plates (no extra charge). ..so this is a photo of a half salad.  The shrimp are very large and flavorful, the crab meat was also very fresh and tasted good, without the need to add condiments.
We also ordered a bowl of French Onion Soup ($3.25)(only 50¢ more than a cup, and considerably larger), which was made with a good, rich, not salty beef broth, sweet, not mushy onions and topped with croutons and slices of Swiss cheese, melted just right.

The food here isn't quite 'bar food' and is very good.  There are sliders and nachoes and that type of thing on the menu, all kind of high end.  PBB&G has weekday specials and a very good Brunch.  More information is on the website (which has music attached, so if you click on the link, you may want to turn down the sound). It's good.

That looks really good, though I am old enuf to remember louies piled with a towering mound of fresh crabmeat(omg, I'm getting old).

I had the brunch there several years ago and thought it was a great value. I gotta get back over to civilization again soon!!

Looks like a yummy lunch. The melted brie looks great. I've always found French Onion soup to be a bit too salty for me but I think I would enjoy this version.
