Delicious seafood meal at Out of the Blue.January is another busy month for Out of the Blue Crabs & Seafood restaurant in Gainesville, and it all begins with D.C.'s Winter Restaurant Week.
Restaurant Week
D.C. Restaurant Week is Jan. 14-20, but you don’t have to go far to experience fine dining. Out of the Blue is the only restaurant in Gainesville to participate in Restaurant Week this year.
The Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington D.C. Winter Restaurant Week allows diners to try different restaurants at reduced pricing. To celebrate, Out of the Blue is offering a special menu. A three course lunch for $22 or a three course dinner for $35.
Owner Ryan Pell said they are really excited to participate and hope to introduce more people to what Out of the Blue has to offer.
Sea to Table
Ever wonder how restaurants source their seafood? Danny Pell, the other owner of Out of the Blue, is in Benita Springs, Florida catching the crabs that will soon be served at Out of the Blue. His wife, Ryan, explained that has become very rare in the industry.
BOGO crabs are in! OOTB is calling the "Best Deal of the Year."“All the blue crabs in the restaurant are caught by Danny. It’s literally from our boats to the table for blue crabs,” she said.
Out of the Blue is offering their Blue Crab Special. When customers buy one All You Can Eat Blue Crabs, medium, larger or extra-large Blue Crab carry out, they get one free! This promotion is good while supplies last.
School Spirit
Out of the Blue loves to help the local community. Come celebrate School Spirit Night with Out of the Blue for Alvey Elementary School, Jan. 23. Out of the Blue will donate 15% of meals to Alvey's PTO when diners mention Alvey.
