The artwork is cute.
For some reason our waitress didn’t use her iPad and had to continue to verify order. Write it down. I don’t care how good you think your memory is.

Always a pleasure to visit.
Cheese, sausage, tomato sauce all on an omelette. And you can order banana bread as a “toast”.
Casino Theatre On Catalina Island
Today our stop is Catalina Island… and island off the coast of Los Angeles. And adorable little town with wild buffalo and golf carts.
The famous landmark is the Casino… which is not a casino. A circular theatre built in 1933. Theatre downstairs and a ballroom and now roller skating rink upstairs.
The building is so beautiful… the theatre is lovely and the old ballroom has its charm. The outside terrace also gives spectacular views.

Sucker for bread pudding and this is some good shit. With raisins FYI.
I enjoyed this much more than expected. It came with tortilla but I just ate the meat. It was not heavy and very flavourful.
achiote-marinated smoked pork
& sour orange habanero pico de gallo
