Roses Restaurant on Orcas Island

in #travel6 years ago

As a fine dining experience Roses Restaurant in Eastsound on Orcas Island in the Puget Sound was very nice. The service and food were wonderful.

When you are on vacation it is fun to eat in a nicer restaurant. Real flowers on the table is a special touch that you don’t see in many of the more budget minded places.

There was no white tablecloth, but I really don’t mind that (I actual don’t like tablecloths much) and besides those types of places are usually a bit out of the budget.

The outside of the restaurant was decorated nicely. It looks like the camera photographed raindrops coming down that show up against the darker areas of the eves and door and it gives the feel of the typical weather around the Puget Sound.

Right by the entrance there is a small store with all kinds of interesting delicatessen goodies. It has a very nice selection considering the low population in the area (only around 5000 people live on the Island circa 2018)

Here’s my personal lunch selection of a pizza with arugula and potatoes on it. It was very tasty. I sampled some of the fish selections my other family members had and they were good too. (Occasionally I eat fish although I’m mostly vegetarian)

The dinning area was filled with mostly older people. As I recall, in the past places like this had a lot more younger professional looking people. Perhaps they don’t go on vacation around these types of places or maybe the demographics of who eats at these restaurants is shifting.

Silly question of the day:
Why are the faces in the above photo blurred?

A) Some photographers don’t like people
B) Photos steal your soul and Gaussian blur prevents the demons from recognizing you so easily
C) It’s traditional
D) It’s a courtesy extended for people’s privacy
E) Someone is overly paranoid about being sued for millions when (or if) the price of Steem exceeds the price of Bitcoin
F) All of the above
G) None of the above
H) Don’t answer this question, companies will data mine the answers and influence elections.


Thanks for reading! I always value your support and comments. The pictures were taken by me with my Galaxy S9+.

hello my friend, how are you today, i can not comment banya about your posting this, i just say wow very extraordinary. and this is a small stall we often hang out every night, image

Very interesting photo, I like the Steemit sign on the wall. Thanks for sharing.

actually the warkop was once called meuligo wifi and since in our area there are some stemians who often hang out in the stall, then the warkop is named as steemit meuligo wifi.

LOL ... I demand a recount:) That store is wonderful. You can tell whoever runs it loves his or here job:) Love arugula by far my favorite greeen:) If you are leaning towards a fish day ... dry clams on pizza ... it's amazing:)

It is interesting that my son tried clams for the first time that evening but seemed to not like them so much. I think I ended up eating most of them and finishing his sea food dish, it was really good and a very nice combination.

It worked out well:) I love clams:)

.a very enjoyable trip I really like to see togetherness like this, which is very interesting in the way of my friend's friend #lightsplasher eating together with family, and a very good pizza with the addition of arugula and potatoes on top of it is very dancing, hopefully my best friend's holiday this time it was fun

image

.thanks my best friend #lightsplasher has seen this very interesting atmosphere to us all

Actually my family is not shown here, just in case you are confused. These are just people in the dinning area of the restaurant that I showed to give you a feel of what it looked like inside the restaurant.

We did have fun eating together here and the food was excellent.

I think that appears in this post photo my friend friend #lightsplasher, sorry I'm my friend I've mistakenly assumed, I really hope to see my friend's face #lightsplasher even if only in the photo, even then if my friend does not mind

No problem at all, I should have been more clear in my posting. I'm hesitant to show my face or that of close family members.

I'll go for B, D and E, lol!

The idea of some family time really makes me feel warm. And I never take for granted the free ticket I have on Steemit, for a peak into other people's lifestyles, people in farawaaaaay places!

Nice answers! But are you sure you want them permanently part of the block-chain? No fair editing, LOL.

I really enjoy interacting and seeing peaks into other people's lifestyles around the world too, it is very fun.

a very enjoyable holiday friends, can dine with friends in a beautiful restaurant and fun. I am very proud of your work this @lightsplasher.

Restoran gaya klasik, sangat bagus di kunjungi @lighplasher

Sound like a wonderful. Roses rest so fabulous and delicious. Flowers stunning much to everyone. Out of background so fabulous with clean environment. Nice shots selection.

the flowers are beautiful and very beautiful for us to see friend @lightsplasher. image
and this is my interest whether you like it my beloved friend. image

@lightsplasher His restaurant is very nice lots of flowers, so give a fresh feel, very bgus we visit let alone provide delicious food like pizza

On that "kitchen nightmares" show with Gordon Ramsey whenever he goes to rescue a restaurant he first checks them out and there are usually a bunch of old people that make up the customer base of the failing restaurant. So, whenever I go to a new place and see a lot of old people I sort of brace myself when ordering. The clientele seems pretty mixed on Orca Island, the food was probably pretty decent lol.

.a very enjoyable trip I really like seeing togetherness like this, which is very interesting in the way of my friend's friend #lightsplasher eating together with family, and a very nice pizza with the addition of arugula and potatoes on his thanks for having seen a very dancing trip

image

.and the food was very tasty pizza with potato sprinkles and arugula on top of it that made it very interesting

image

I prefer seeing a nice wood grained table myself over a table cloth. Some places seem to be overcharge way too much for the experience and atmosphere they think they are creating while the food is lackluster.

Interesting take on pizza. I really like how crispy and thin it looks in the photo. I can only hope they did not skimp on the sauce on it. Otherwise it looks tasty.

Seeing as how I’m leaving a comment I think they are already trying data mine it to increase sales! I’ll just go option I –time traveling cats.

Well for me it is D, sometimes. For example of this shot of a man wearing a tail, I blurred. When it is more just usual crowd stuff, I let it go. Very interesting blog!
