Dinner
In addition to treating myself to a hotel room, I also treated myself to dinner in town.
This was not as easy as it sounds. I first drove to the harbor, at the other end of town from the hotel, planning to eat at the Wharf. But I learned they were closed on Wednesdays. My next stop was Casa del Sol, which was open when I pulled up, but closed by the time I parked and walked to the door. I should have known: this town rolls up the sidewalks pretty early.
My next stop was Mayan Fusion, which was not only open, but was beautiful inside:
I love the doors leading to “the rest of the world”:
I had never been in the dining room, though I had often picked up to go orders there. Seated in the dining room, I realized that it used to be a much-loved local institution, The Restaurant. And because this town is so small, the daughter of The Restaurant’s owners had just started working at the same clinic where I work.
I was warmly welcomed by the staff, and the food was wonderful. I had crab cakes with green onion coulis and chipotle aioli:
and wild prawns grilled on a sprig of rosemary and served with a mango-pineapple salsa:
The food was delicious, the service attentive, and it was a wonderful evening.
A YEAR AGO: A lovely visit to the South Coast.
FIVE YEARS AGO: Getting my pearls restrung.
TEN YEARS AGO: Taking Audrey to the vet is always an adventure.
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO: My mail had a theme.
TWENTY YEARS AGO: How to see your ex.
