Romeo's Italian Restaurant

 If we had known how close this restaurant is, we could have walked when we didn't have a vehicle.  We went there for lunch, it has been in business since 1978.  It was also featured on one of the travel shows.  Not impressed.  We arrived a little before 12pm and were the only customers the whole time.  Seated promptly with menus, we chose to sit outside overlooking French Harbor, It was very scenic and relaxing.  Decided to go with a combo platter of steak and shrimp.  We were served with some bread drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, they split the main dish for us and I forgot to take a picture.  Combined it was an 8 oz steak, 8 pieces of shrimp, grilled veggies and a baked potato.  They gave us tarter sauce for the shrimp, but nothing for the baked potato.  Being the only guests there, I figured the waiter would stop by shortly to see if we needed anything (pepper and butter for the potatoes).  I was pretty much done with my meal and had to stare down someone inside to get their attention.  After we were finished, he came by to see if we wanted dessert, we were full from the meal and declined, although the lemon meringue pie sounded good, we passed, then it took another 15 minutes and we went inside to pay and gave up waitng for the bill.  I think it's the custom at restaurants not to rush the customers to finish like it is in the USA.  Overall, we might go back to try their brick oven pizzas, but it will be down at the bottom of the list to try again.

Lawson Rock Deli and Market - Sandy Bay

Image
 Sandy Bay takes up a lot of area on the west side of the island.  Part of that includes the exclusive subdivision of Lawson Rock.  They have a condo building with a deli/market inside.  We've driven past hundreds of times and finally decided to check it out.  It's a cute little deli that serves breakfast and lunch.  They also sell meats and cheeses like an old fashioned deli, plus gifts! We ordered the lunch specials.  One Lasagna plate with salad and the other was their chicken & rice dish that was served with a side of coleslaw (odd combination).  Both were delicious!  The lasagna was $10 and the chicken/rice was $7.20.   We'll be back!

Eldon's Grocery Store

 Having just moved into the condo and there is not a single piece of food in the condo we definitely needed to go to the grocery store.  According to what I've read there are two Eldon Grocery stores and another grocery store on the island.  Thankfully one of the Eldon's is only 2 blocks from our condo.  We walked there and took a taxi back with all our food.   We spent a total of $175.  The prices aren't too bad if you stick to their generic brands.  The most expensive thing we bought was a 12 pack of Diet Coke for a little over $6.  Included in the $175 was milk, cheese, bacon, sausages, bagels, cream cheese, flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt and pepper, ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce, snacks, some chips, bread, peanutbutter, jam, and a few other things.  It's interesting and I should have taken some pictures - but their flour and sugars come in clear bags.  The bread is square! I also bought a 1 liter of Coca Cola in a glass bottle fo...

Roberto's Burritos in West End

Image
 We've driven past this cute little building several times, but finally made  a point to stop in and check it out.  The building used to be a Meat market but now they serve tacos and burritos.  I had heard that they had large portions, so we split something, decided to order the biggest burrito on the menu. lol  It's the Carnita,( $12)  it had steak, chicken, rice and beans and a few other ingredients.  We also ordered a side of chips and salsa ($2).  The brought out the chips and salsa first.  The salsa was great, just a little spicy, but not enough that I couldn't eat it (I'm a wimp with spicy foods. )  Then before we had made a dent in the chips, here come our burrito.  I took pictures of both, but had to add my Pepsi in for a size reference.  The burrito was huge, bigger than my forearm.  Glad we split it.  Everything was delicious, but next time I might just stop in for their dessert.  It's chips with sugar ...
