Niagara Region

 

 

We arrived in the Niagara area about noon on the 17th and checked into the NET RV Resort. The lot is about 80 feet of gravel and pretty level and not too close to the neighbors. As soon as we got the bus hooked up and grabbed a bite we got in the car and went over to NY to get the last allergy shot. The appointment was for 3:15 but we managed to hit the Walmart before and get the shot done by about 3pm and run back across the border to the park by 4 ... long day.

 

 



Friday evening we decided to celebrate our 43rd anniversary as we hadn't had time to do so before. We chose the Lake House Mediterranean Restaurant right on Lake Ontario for the event. We had gone by the place many times on the QEW and said it might be nice.

Yep. Here's a shot of the back of the place right on the lake. Our table was right in the closest corner of the inside porch seating, looking out at the lake. The night was to be stormy and was about 75 degrees so we elected to stay inside although the outside looked inviting.

From our table I shot this hazy view of the Toronto skyline in the waning light. The CN tower is about 30 miles away and it was fascinating to watch the sailboats in the calm water before the impending storm. In about a half hour both the sailboats and the skyline vanished in the goo.

We both had their prix fixe menu and started with the baked brie which was great. My 43 year table-mate had the Mediterranean chicken and I went with the pecan salmon of course ... both excellent and the service fast and professional. Accompanied by a Chilean and Italian red wine, a really relaxing evening. Behind the wine glass is a unique oil and balsamic for bread dipping dispenser we hadn't seen before so bought a couple later.

Then dessert came in four glasses of different mixes of sweets ... accompanied by two glasses of amaretto ... wonderful! This place was really great and the food and staff at the top and we were lucky to celebrate our 43rd here, and at about $100 US total, was a real treat.

Finally below, before we depart to the east tomorrow, I had to share another food item from the RV park here.

Hopefully you didn't stagger over to the snack machine in the late of the night and got the culinary surprise of your life ... or maybe didn't even notice.

More from down the road on the 20th.
