Fort Consolation - Coxen Hole

 Fort Consolation used to be an old fort that turned into a restaurant.  When we first moved here, it had been closed and for sale.  Now it's a restaurant and on certain days of the month they host a craft fair.  We stopped for lunch and really enjoyed it.  The restaurant was upstairs with a great view of the harbor.  Today there was only one cruise ship in this port. ( I've seen as many as 3 in one day.)

I ordered the Chicken Fajita Plate ($12) and Greg ordered the Greek Shrimp Pita with french fries ($12).   The food was good and we will probably go back when they have their 2 for $25 pizzas, although I don't know what we are going to do with all that pizza.  They do have room for improvement.  The shrimp pita was supposed to come with shrimp, olives, feta cheese and lettuce, they forgot the feta cheese.  The french fries were the standard ones you can buy in bulk.  My CHICKEN Fajita came with a small side of refried beans and pico de gallo and 3 very small flour tortillas, the portion of meat/pepper/onion filled up more than 6 of the flour toritllas - yes I asked for more and they brought them.  If you notice in the picture the chicken was steak.  I ordered the chicken because it was $2 less than the steak, so I didn't mind the difference.  The unique thing this restaurant did was mix in the cheese with the fajita meat.  It was all nice and gooey from the heat.  Delicious!  The only thing I would have liked to seen was some sour cream on the side.  

The restaurant has a large dock that you can swim off of and the water was very clear with coral and fish you could see from the dock.  We might go back next time and snorkel there.

 Oops, didn't realize it's been a whole year since I've posted last.   Well we we wanted to go to The Wok, but they didn't open until 12 and it was 11:20, so I didn't want to wait 40 minutes - we walked next door to the bakery to see if they offered anything for lunch.  They had a large lunch menu including soups, salads, burgers and salads.   The burger didn't mention french fries and since it was a bakery, I wasn't expecting big portions, so Greg ordered the burger and I ordered the pesto pasta salad and we were going to split each item.  Well we get our food and the burger is huge and it came with french fries, so we split his lunch and took mine home to eat for dinner.  Of course I had to nibble on the pasta first, it was delicious.

 This is a great place for all you coffee lovers.  They have a bunch of different coffee drinks and they sell their own roasted coffee for $16 a lb.    I don't drink coffee so the only reason we tried this place is Greg won a free lunch there.  He received a drink, sandwich and dessert from a radio contest.  Funny thing about the sandwich  - they only have 1 Yes that's right - 1 (ONE) sandwich.  It's a Panini and you have your choice of 1 meat and one cheese for $8.  You can add on extra meat for another $2 - I would recommend this.  The sandwich comes with meat, cheese and a mayo/pesto sauce.  That's it.  No lettuce, tomatoes or anything else. Greg said his iced coffee was good. Here is our Panini Sandwiches - we both ordered bacon: They have several different desserts from Carrot Cake, brownies and their homemade icecream.  They have 7 different flavors.  I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but they have a "Family Brownie Sundae" for $25.  I had to ask..

 Ok, I'm really sorry everyone.  I was told this was a Thai restaurant - turned out it was Sushi and Chinese food. lol  We are so glad we stopped.  They have the best fried rice I've had in years, maybe ever.  We ordered pork dumplings as appetizer and split an orange chicken plate.  The dumplings were tasty and had lots of pork, the orange chicken came with broccoli with sesame seeds sprinkled, the fried rice was light and fluffy with egg, onion and soy sauce mixed in.  They don't have a very big menu, sushi, stirfry options where you add proteins to rice, or noodles, we'll have to try that next.  We will definitely be back.
