Ok, so here I am sitting in my hotel room and thinking about walking down and eating in the lobby bar. I know there are several restaurants a mile or two away but I really did not feel like walking that far. So I am thinking I wonder how close a Open Table restaurant is. I look on the app and woohoo there is one about 2000 feet from the lobby. But wait, how to get there. There is a band of dense woods and power poles between me and my dinner. Well I am a geocacher aren't I! And geocachers a use to bushwhacking aren't they! So off I go to investigate. As I approached the power pole and the woods, just at the back of the hotel parking, I could look through and see golfers zooming by. I am thinking that they just finished and are headed back to the clubhouse. It must be close. So I gently stepped over the brambles and pushed through the trees and bingo I ended up on the cart path. Yeah.
I had already made a reservation on the Open Table app for 1 and it even allowed me to choose bar seating, that is rare for most restaurants. Thank you.
Any way back to my story. It was in total about 2000 feet to the front door from the hotel and I didn't have to drive.
So I get to the front desk, the restaurant looked very inviting, and flag down the first waitperson I see and tell them I have an Open Table reservation. Well they looked at me and cocked there head and said what's that. Oh boy, I get this a lot but I just smiled and explained what OT is all about and she said no problem I will get it handled. Very nice folks here.
I saddled up to the bar with a bunch of golfers and ordered a nice glass of wine. After a few sips the manager came up to me and introduced herself and the fact that that she handled my reservation in Open Table. Yeah!
So after looking at the interesting menu I order the salmon. I know I live in Oregon and I am ordering fish in Texas. But it is my favorite.
Well let me tell you the food was amazing and the wine over the top. The physical restaurant itself is amazing with soaring windows, outdoor fireplace, views of the golf course, etc.
It liked the establishment so much and the nice waitstaff so nice I ended up coming back two more times.
I will be back. ;)
