NO MONDAY MORNING RECIPE POST, BUT A RESTAURANT.

 Another whole week has gone by, and I haven't made one new recipe. Our last meal was a salad. My dear other half fixed it. We had different tastes in our additions. This is mine: we both had the lettuce, sautéed mushrooms, sliced radishes with the miniature chicken and cilantro dumplings which had been dropped in boiling water to cook, plus a few blueberries and raspberries on mine. There’s also diced tomato in there somewhere. No dressing for me but dear man liked a little blue cheese dressing on his. We enjoyed them immensely and I think we will be eating a lot of salads this week with all the hot weather we are having.

I thought I would share a restaurant I mentioned in my daily journal shortly after we visited. March 20th, 2025 was the day we were there. (I will begin doing my journals again sometime, I miss doing them.) It had been my dear other half’s birthday a few days earlier and he wanted to try this restaurant after it was recommended by our son and daughter-in-law.

This is the Lazy Dog Restaurant and we were greeted by a sculpture in the window. We had come through the front doors into a small foyer. Beyond the glass window was the restaurant. I thought it would have been a dog, but I could see a horse's head made from metal parts.


Here is the view directly across the street.  We were in a large shopping area.


You can read a bit of its history here on Wikipedia.  The menu is quite extensive. I have added pages below and if you click on them, you can enlarge and hopefully be able to read what they have.


We were asked if we would like to sit inside or outside. Even though there was a little bit of a breeze, we felt it was nice enough to sit outside.  We were having a lovely beginning to the year and the weather was sunny if not hot. We were wearing sweaters and were very comfortable.






The appetizer above is what everyone was given. They were like crispy home-made potato chips. I ordered trout and Gregg the fish and chips, though no photo of his. 


We took a piece of cake home for us to share later, called Confetti Cake, and it was very good. 

When Gregg saw that I had written my blog post about this restaurant, he said he really liked the place and wants to go again. 

That's about it for today's food post. Thanks for looking and I hope your day is a good one.

  11. Blue cheese dressing. Now there’s something I haven’t had for a while, and I have some Stilton in the fridge, so it may well appear on my salad soon!

  13. Oh Denise...I'm salivating! Not only from your homemade salad but also from the menu at the Lazy Dog. I thought I wanted the Korean Ribeye Bibimbap until...I saw your trout. Make that two please, waiter! *haha* Happy Belated Birthday to your hubby! Love, Andrea xoxo

    1. Hello Andrea :) thank you for the smile. Actually, the Bibimbap sounds wonderful doesn't it? Maybe next time but I love my trout so much and don't have it that often :) Thank you for hubby's Birthday greetings. He is very happy you remembered him. Love from both of us xoxo

  15. Hello,
    It is always nice to find a new restaurant that you like.

  16. What a unique spot. That plate of food looks so good. Hope you make it back soon. Our blogs are great reminders of many things...

  17. The trout looks really good. It's been a long time since I've had trout. My favorite fish is walleye and it's been a really long time since I've had that. Love the sculpture!

  18. I agree Denise. This time of year my kitchen has 'limited service and menu is short'!!!
    I don't do blue cheese either. Nice review of new cafe and the art outside and inside.
    Hugs cecilia
