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.
The food looks delicious, Denise. Love ❤️ all your photos and descriptions of this place. And I love the beautiful black lab at the end of your post over your name, dear friend 🧡
ReplyDeleteHappy you like it Linda, thank you so much dear friend :)
DeleteI love the trout! What were those browned pieces at side?
ReplyDeleteThat's great Angie. Those you asked about were called crispy smashed potatoes :)
DeleteI would love trying this restaurant myself if I could
ReplyDeleteI wish that too Roentare :)
DeleteWhat an unusual place. And what an encyclopedic menu!! And it is even a chain! The food looks good, and also fresh. I don't know how they can make so many different meals so quickly!
ReplyDeleteThe extensive menu I found amazing and it made me wonder how many chefs and helpers were putting all this together :)
DeleteIt looks like a good and different restaurant with an extremely interesting menu!
ReplyDeleteThe fish in the photo looks delicious and well-cooked!!
Your salad is definitely delicious and healthy!!
Thank you Katerina, we find ourselves enjoying our salads and its fun to make them a little different each time :)
DeleteI am glad you both enjoyed it - wanting a repeat visit is a really good sign.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend, I think so too :)
DeleteLove trout, it does look good, Denise.
ReplyDeleteYour salad does look good too.
Thank you Margaret, I certainly enjoyed both :)
DeleteEverything looks so tasty, Denise! 😋
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your photos.
Happy Monday!
Thank you Veronica Lee, very much appreciated. A Happy Monday to you also :)
DeleteHappy birthday, Gregg!
ReplyDeleteHe says thank you kindly Janice, and thank you from me too :)
DeleteThe salad looked pretty yummy but the plate of food from that restaurant looks very good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann :) it was an excellent meal, one we look forward to repeating some time.
DeleteBlue 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!
ReplyDeleteI love a good strong Stilton but haven't had any for a long time. You've sown a seed David, thank you :)
DeleteThose chips look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI can attest to the fact that they were excellent :)
DeleteOh 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
ReplyDeleteHello 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
DeleteLarge variety of food. I wouldn’t mind trying this restaurant.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, it certainly was and we are looking forward to trying it again.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to find a new restaurant that you like.
The trout looks yummy. I like the horse sculpture.
Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
I agree :) Thank you Eileen and I wish you the same :)
DeleteWhat a unique spot. That plate of food looks so good. Hope you make it back soon. Our blogs are great reminders of many things...
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are great reminders, thank you Ellen :)
DeleteThe 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra :) that sculpture was very pretty. I don't think I have ever tried walleye. I will have to keep an eye out for it on the menu but I am sure I would have seen it on there if it was a choice. I will pay extra special attention next time.
DeleteI agree Denise. This time of year my kitchen has 'limited service and menu is short'!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't do blue cheese either. Nice review of new cafe and the art outside and inside.
Hugs cecilia
We are alike Cecilia. Glad you enjoyed the review along with the art. Sending hugs :)
DeleteLooks like they have quite a variety of foods and that they have a good chef, too.
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks delicious, too. :)
Happy birthday to your hubby!
Hi Rita, they certainly do. We also like making our own salads, trying to switch them around a bit. Thank you for your sweet birthday greetings to the hubs who passes on many thanks :) Hoping your healing is continuing well.
DeleteSalad looks great and so does the fish. You sure eat well.
ReplyDeleteWe try our best Gigi, eating healthier is our goal :)
Deletethe trout looks great and so does your salads, interesting place too, a good place for the MADsnapper to visit
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra, and I would love for you to visit so that we could go there together :)
DeleteThe salad looks amazing, my friend! And I thought I was the only one who ate salad without dressing! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello my friend, thank you so much and you are very welcome. We are kindred spirits on the salad dressings it seems :)
DeleteYour trout looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan, much appreciated and all the best to you too :)
DeleteGood food! The salad with the dumplings looks amazing :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you Ananka and I'm glad you liked the look of that salad. Those dumplings were delicious :)
