Diverse Dining List

Fisherman's in Crescent City, CA

Festive Sign
​
​This past summer, Don and I had breakfast at this cute diner, across from our motel. 
Picture
The sign was very entertaining. The letters in Fisherman, were  hidden in flags at the top. Restaurant was written with driftwood. And what about that lil mermaid with her dolphin and Paul Bunyan and his ox! Who can resist a restaurant with a sign like that?

Crescent City?

Our breakfast at Fisherman's, tied in nicely with our Crescent City Experience. We've passed through this little "city" before, but it has always felt gloomy, socked in with fog. 
Picture
After 20 hours in C City, I left with some fond memories of the place. We got to see it in sunshine! We also learned about the struggles this community has overcome, dealing with multiple Tsunamis. 

​Curly Redwood Lodge

This is the fine motel where Don and I stayed. It's been sitting here on the Redwood Highway since 1957.

The quirky little motel has some history. Plus, it was right across the street from Fisherman's!

​Open on Thursday!

We'd been so disappointed to find the restaurant closed on Wednesday, when we checked into our inn. 
Picture
But luckily, the restaurant opened at 6 am on Thursday! They were doing a pretty good business by the time we headed over at 8.

Seat with a View

During our pandemic summer travels of 2021, Don and I learned to expect a wait, or possibly a stressed staff. But we were greeted by a friendly staff and a couple Good Mornings, when we entered. We took a window booth, with a view.

I was sort of amused to have this view, with our motel across the street. Even the parking lot was a bit entertaining. At one point a big pickup with "Redneck" written on the windshield, parked near the BMW and MINI Cooper. What an odd assortment of cars. And then there was that fog that rolled in and out. A common thing in Crescent City.

Patriotic Nautical

From our table, I looked around and took in the decor. There seemed to be 2 themes. There were lots of patriotic banners.

Tying into the nautical theme, I spotted lots of lighthouses. Crescent City does have a very picturesque lighthouse. 

Short Walk Away

The restaurant was a convenient walk from our motel. But the diner also had a nice location for wandering to the harbor. Just a short walk from the restaurant, we found this scene. We could hear the sea lions from our motel!
Picture
We could also hear the eerie sound of the foghorn, (I'm guessing from the lighthouse) continuously.

Breakfast!

Our upbeat server Susan, brought our coffee right away. I commented on her good mood and she laughed that she'd already been working for a couple hours.

I ordered a simple bagel and cream cheese, since I knew I'd be helping Don with his feast.
Picture
Don's sushi shirt did not go well with his omelet and hash browns and pancake. We worked together and almost finished!

Shopping

Before taking off, we could have shopped a bit for some souvenirs. 
Picture
If they'd sold Hawaiian shirts, maybe I would have bought one. I noticed that all the staff  flowered shirts. Maybe that's why they were in such good moods. Or maybe they were in good spirits because they'd all had a day off the day before. Or maybe you have to enjoy your work, when your  owner/manager is the kind of person who suggests flowered shirts for uniforms.

Good-Bye

​Don and I left with full stomachs and we left in good moods.  
Picture
There was nothing spectacular about the food or the interior of Fisherman's. But I think this little restaurant was probably the friendliest of all the food stops on our summer road trip of 2021.

       The Dining Blog

    This is a blog about Dining Adventures. Sometimes, I talk about food.  Below, you can read how this started.


    On
    July 4th 2011, I set a goal to try 50 culturally diverse restaurants in one year!  (I knew that was possible, living in the Houston area) I spent the year pulling in friends and family to  join me, on some unusual dining adventures.  I met some curious people, tried some scary foods and explored places and cultures I never would have otherwise.  Even though I met my goal, I learned too much to end my adventures in dining.  I have continued  blogging about memorable dining adventures of all kinds, near and far... and all the discoveries and funny things I've learned  along the way!
    ​

    Locations and types of dining adventures,  are listed further down.
