The Reef Bar & Market Grill

Whenever I tell people I write a Nacho Blog, they don't take me seriously.  When I hand them my card and they know I am for real, the first thing they ask me is, "Who has the best nachos on the island?"  I haven't had a solid answer for some years now as all of my favorite nacho places have closed down or stopped serving them.  Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of places with really good nachos, but to label something as "the best" takes some serious nacho skills.  That was, until we had nacho night at The Reef Bar & Market Grill.  Their steak and shrimp nachos are by far, the best nachos I have ever had and I have had A LOT of nachos over the years.  Where is The Reef Bar & Market Grill you ask? It's in the Outrigger in the location of the old Shorebirds. Same epic view with a new and improved menu.

Our nacho night at The Reef Bar was the most epic night of nachos any of us have experienced. It all started with a phone call from my good friend Art.  We had worked together at the Cantina and he remembered that I wrote the nacho blog. He called me up and said management was interested in having us come in and try their nachos and do a write up about it. The best part, the nachos were to be comped!  Comped nachos?!?! We were feeling pretty cool. All these years of hard work, eating nachos and writing blogs had finally paid off. I scheduled the nacho night for the Monday after my birthday so we could continue the weekend celebrations. As it got closer to the event, I spoke with Art and he told me that there was not just going to be the regular nachos that are on the menu.  When the chefs heard about our group coming in, they created 4 other special nachos just for us, including dessert nachos to celebrate my birthday.  We were beyond excited. Since they were being comped, we were not sure what to expect.  Would they only bring out a couple dishes for our group to sample?  Whatever was going to happen, we were going to be grateful.

I arrived early to meet the managers and make sure everything was good to go.  They had 4 tables set up for us with CUSTOM printed menus that even wished me a happy birthday. Too cool!  We were like VIP nacho friends. Then we found out that they were bringing out the nachos like a 5 course gourmet nacho meal extravaganza. We sat patiently, sipping on drinks while the chefs prepared our first course.  Each table got their own platter to share and we knew we were done for from the first bite.  What is this nacho sorcery?  They were beautiful and they tasted even better than they looked.  They could have stopped right there and we would have been beyond stoked. But no, they proceeded to bring out 4 more courses, one at a time, of nacho deliciousness. We ate nachos for 2 hours and loved every single second of it.  When it came time for the dessert nachos, they even put a candle in the ice cream and everyone sang to me.

For the few of you that this was your first nacho night, I apologize.  There will never be another nacho night that lives up to this. Please don't let this night taint your future happiness at sub par nacho nights. For those of you that missed out on the most amazing nacho night in all the land, your mission is to go to The Reef Bar and try out the steak and shrimp nachos.  You will not be disappointed. Tell them Shananigans and the Nacho Friends sent you!  Happy hour is 7 days a week from 2pm to 5pm and again from 10:30pm to midnight.


Some overall comments from the Nacho Friends about the evening:
  •  Flacco: Other than the luau nachos, all of the courses were amazing! Whoever came up with this menu should get a high five! This is my favorite nacho night!
  • Collin: Could have been more sauce (the white stuff) otherwise it was awesome.  The only nachos that weren’t so good were the luau nachos. All the other nachos were quite the religious experience, just sayin!
  • Dusty: Awesome venue, ocean view, great service!
  • Tango Tango: We’re better than Gods, we’re nacho-powered god slaughterers.  Anyone who didn’t come to this nacho night will never experience true happiness.
  • Mike: There is a smell around the place. Did not notice it after the nachos came out.
  • Piggy: Service is magnificent!  View is wonderful!  Thank you Shannon for this event! Ahhhh…I have to go catch an airplane and will miss dessert!
  • Zach: Great service, food and company!
  • Brando & Julia: We tasted all the nachos, they were all amazing. It was a fiesta of nachos, and we had a great time, thank you!!!!  P.S. Fucking dessert nachos!!!! Are you kidding my ass, delish!
  • Lizzy: Service was awesome!  We love NILE!  Really nice sized portions.  Loved the fresh ingredients.  Would DEFINITELY nom again.
  • Shananigans:  Beautiful view!  Amazing staff!  Nile was the best waiter I have had in a long time.  Holy Moly what a nacho feast 5 course extravaganza! We were not expecting this, and we were blown away!  Thank you to the wonderful staff of Nile, Jordan, Molly, Art, John and of course, Chef Nick! 

OMG the menus say "Happy Birthday Shannon!  A Nacho Celebration Special Menu"

·         Collin: Pretty perfect nachos, all ingredients blended perfectly.
·         Nacho Libra: OMG – Pineapple + kalua pork!!!

·         M?: Light on topping
·         Nicole: pineapple (allergic)
·         Dusty: Onion
·         Don Frijoles: Flimsy chips
·         Justin: Taro chips overwhelmed by BIG flavor toppings

·         Zach: Chips couldn’t support the toppings
·         Lizzy: My teeth found it hard to chew the taro chips.
·         Shananigans:  not enough pineapple, I think pineapple should be on more nachos, especially if it is grilled, it adds such a nice little burst of sweetness.

·         Wammy: 4
·         Flacco: There could be more toppings, especially more of the feta sauce.

·         M?: Flavors are good, chips are light and fresh, not too hard.

3. Mediterranean Gyro Nachos

OVERALL:

PRESENTATION:
·         Wammy: Goat cheese!
·         Flacco: Awesome, beautiful, fresh looking!  These chips look great!
·         La Princesa de la Quesa: The nachos I was most excited about, but the toppings look meh, especially the topping to chip ratio.
·         Collin: Visually a 10/10
·         Nacho N8: Good chips, crummy toppings, not a fan of lamb, wood blocks suck for serving nachos
·         Nacho No Name: Fresh, fresh fresh!  Fresh cucumbers, gyro is savory, Kalamata onions – perfection!
·         Nicole: Wow! So ono!
·         Dusty: Good, not a lot of toppings
·         Don Frijoles: Pink palace worthy, flavors look a little burnt
·         Justin: Holy crap! Loaded and they went with the pita type wheat homemade chips and deli quality Kalamata olives
·         Zach: Least impressive presentation
·         Lizzy: Looks good!
·         Shananigans:  Beautiful!  OMG look at all the olives. MINE MINE MINE!

·         Flacco: Chips crunch great!
·         La Princesa de la Quesa: Loads of flavor!

·         Nacho No Name: Whole garlic = YUM!
·         Nicole: Garlic cloves, goat cheese was yum!
·         Dusty: No onion!  Tzatziki sauce, olives, fresh chips, fresh mint.
·         Don Frijoles: Tzatziki sauce, flavorful lamb
·         Justin: Special, just really special.  Lamb on par with Kan Zaman with Kalamata olives, mint, and cream, perfectly balanced.

·         Zach: Amazing, love the lamb
·         Lizzy: LOVE the lamb, goat cheese and pesto

·         Flacco: There isn’t more.
·         La Princesa de la Quesa:  Some burnt chips
·         Nacho N8: Nachos are alright, not good toppings
·         Nacho No Name: Don’t need sundried pesto, would rather have a spicy sauce

·         Dusty: Could have used more toppings.
·         Don Frijoles: Burnt chips
·         Justin: Zero lame, even better than the first nachos.
·         Piggy: It would be nice to have mint yogurt
·         Zach: Chips were a little oily
·         Lizzy: Didn’t like the cucumber, but easy to move
·         Shananigans:  Some spicy Greek hot sauce would have been epic, lacks any kick.  All the toppings fall off when you pick up a chip because there is nothing to glue the toppings together.

TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO:
·         Wammy: 4
·         Flacco: Great! Lots of toppings!
·         La Princesa de la Quesa: 2
·         Collin: 5
·         Nacho No Name: 5, spot on!
·         Nicole: 4
·         Dusty: 4
·         Don Frijoles: 3

·         Zach: 5
·         Lizzy: 4.5, so good, maybe more goat cheese and pesto?
·         Shananigans:  4.5, everything was covered, just fell off when you went to eat it

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
·         Wammy: High class fancy ass nachos
·         La Princesa de la Quesa: Ground lamb tastes awesome which is surprising for ground lamb.  All tastes great together.
·         Nacho Libra: Holy crap! That Lamb!  I’m not usually a fan of Kalamata olives, but these go so well with the tzatziki sauce and goat cheese. Drooooool.
·         Shananigans:  We won 2nd place in a Nacho Cook Off with our own version of Greek Nachos and these were super close to what we made and almost as delicious 😉  That magical hummus surprise under the chips was superb!

·         Don Frijoles: Good looking arugula
·        Justin: Colorful arugula and bright red tomatoes, the pita chips again (always visually attractive with golden color and volume)
·         Zach: Presentation okay.
·         Lizzy: Like a little nacho salad
·        Shananigans:  Super pretty, but I think that’s truffles I smell? Oh no!  And they are covered in tomatoes. I think I am going to let the rest of the friends rate these as those are two of my least favorite things.  That arugula looks delish though!

SOMETHING RAD:
·         Wammy: Great tomatoes
·         Flacco: The tomato is awesome! Should be more. Same good chips.
·         La Princesa de la Quesa: The tomatoes!!! SO good!
·         Collin: The roasted tomatoes and gouda were the best part of the nachos.

·         Nicole: needs steak LOL or sausage.
·         Dusty: Kind of dry with no queso/sour cream/sauce, but okay
·         Don Frijoles: Not enough tomatoes
·         Justin: The hummus adds a little grittiness to the texture of these nachos that fight for the smoothness of the tomatoes and mushrooms
·         Piggy: More grilled tomatoes please!
·         Zach: Nothing lame.
·         Lizzy: Arugula is poop, add steak!
·         Shananigans:  I hate mushrooms and tomatoes. These nachos are not for me and that’s okay.  We are all unique and do not have to like the same nachos.

TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO:
·         Wammy: 4
·         Flacco: Good!  Cheese on every bite.
·         La Princesa de la Quesa: 2.5
·         Nacho No Name: 5
·         Nicole: 4
·         Dusty: 4
·         Mike: Perfect, never ran out of either
·         Don Frijoles: 3.75
·         Justin: Good ratio of topping to chips, could do with a little more mushrooms, maybe blend shitake and buttons?
·         Piggy: Perfect topping to chip ratio, just a little more tomatoes and arugula please!
·         Zach: 5
·         Lizzy: 5, perfect.  I love the…

·         Nacho Libra: Seriously I’ve never tasted nachos like this! My mouth is so freaking happy! Gouda is sooooo good! I could’ve licked the garlic truffle hummus off the plate.
·         Nacho No Name: Truffle hummus base is good!
·         Don Frijoles: I don’t even like truffle oil and I loved these nachos!
·         Shananigans:  Creative and people seemed to enjoy them.  I am sure they were delicious for those weirdos that rave about truffle this and truffle that. GAG.

·         La Princesa de la Quesa: Needs better chips
·         Nacho No Name: missing chocolate
