Lunch at the Diamond Palace

Sunday, March 17, 2019

The Seafood Place has been sold to a new group. Diamond, www.diamondseasoodpalace.com.  Their renovations seem to be just about complete. Very pretty but as we discussed today, maybe a bit too hoity toity for us. No specials available. Only two waiters that we knew. Just not as relaxed and comfortable for us. Time to look for another "joint": for lunches.

We started off with the Egg Drop soup. Good but not as good as the hot, spicy, sour soup we have had in the past.

There were only 3 of us today. One person was watching the tennis finals at Indian Wells and the other suffering from a hangover.

We ordered White fish with Bok Choy and Snow Peas. Sautéed shrimp (looked like prawns) with small round noodles and Orange Beef. All were good but it is just not the same. All the dishes were brought out at the same time so they cooled off fast.

Wines we drank today: Francois Chidaine, Tourine, Rose of Pinot Noir, 2012 Sinor-LaVallee, Talley Rincon Vineyard, Pinot Noir, 2012 Stags Leap, Napa Valley, Caberent Sauvignon.
