A Room With a View

 If ever you are looking for a place for romance, the Shadowbrook is the place to go.


Sure, you could celebrate other joys of life here. But it really screams "romance", a place for love, anniversaries, and proposals.


To get to the restaurant, first you board their Hillvator, a funicular you ride down to the entrance.


This is a fancy place with a strict dress code.



The grounds are nice to explore before your reserved time.


If you don't want to wait for the funicular, you could walk down the stairs.



Beautiful.


They have a fancy menu with fancy prices.



The dining room looks down on the San Lorenzo River.



The interior of the restaurant has nice rock work and foliage.

 

The meal started with warm bread and butter.




We ordered the salmon patties to start.



I, of course, had to try their clam chowder.


It was not the best. They used bacon in the recipe, and it was too thick and too dry. And they put corn, which I don't usually find in most restaurants.


I had the shrimp scampi with fettuccine.


Mr Duffy had the honey glazed pork chop.



 

We both enjoyed our food. I was too stuffed for dessert, but I just had to put a little more in. I ordered the chocolate truffles.





After our dinner, we rode the Hillvator back up to the car.




It was like a roller coaster for us. Mr Duffy liked being on another choo-choo.



What a view.




Okay, time to roll our full tummies back to our hotel.
