Outdoor dining anyone?

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Guests are always wondering where they can “eat outside” in Door County.   Egg Harbor has a lot of great restaurants to dine “alfresco“.  For Father’s Day we had lunch at Casey’s.  They have a number of picnic tables outside and have a nice view of the water too.  Steve, the guy responsible for all of Casey’s yummy smoked foods can be seen in front of Casey’s daily, working his magic with his smoker.

Mark loves the smoked Prime Rib sandwich or the ribs, I am partial to the wings.  It’s all good.  The little ones had mac and cheese (homemade of course).  The girls had quesadillas, the boys had “Ruby Specials” and we all shared haystack onions… yum, yum, yum.

Shelly (the owner of The Mill Supper Club) and I had lunch at Shipwrecked last week and ate outside as well… we both had my usual… seafood chowder.  Our friend Joe who is the manager and one of the reasons we like to go there, brought us out a complimentary dessert…

Thanks Joe, it was delicious!

The Carrington Pub at the Landmark Resort is another place for an outdoor dining experience in Egg Harbor.  They have an outdoor seating area with a really nice view of the water.  I plan on checking that out Thursday or Friday…

Mojo Rosa’s, The Bistro at Liberty Square and John Henry’s all have outdoor dining serving everything from Mexican and gourmet to burgers and pasta.

But the best place of all to eat outdoors?  On your balcony or our terrace  at Egg Harbor Lodge of course.  Grab a bottle of wine from Main Street Market’s HUGE wine selection and some Sartori Bellavitano cheese, and/or some of their home made dips and crackers, add a beautiful sunset and an voila’… a perfect outdoor dining experience.  Hors d’oeuvres not your thing?  How about a thick cut rib eye , some fresh asparagus and a twice baked potato?  Throw it on the Egg Harbor Lodge grill… yeah, now we’re talkin’.    Can’t beat that, baby…

So if you are looking to dine outdoors, look no further… the possibilities are endless here in Egg Harbor,  in beautiful Door County Wisconsin!

I Heart Egg Harbor!

1992 Sleigh ride

family sleigh ride

family sleigh ride

I was looking up photos of Egg Harbor on bing.com and found a picture of my family.  Door County Lighthouse Inn located in Egg Harbor had this picture of none other than the Sawyer family circa 1992.  John Mayberry who lives in West Jacksonport and owns the sleigh was looking for a couple of families with a bunch of kids to do a photo shoot for advertising.  I think at the time it was for the White Gull Inn.  Mark’s sister at the time had four kids and Mark and I also had four kids, so we fit the bill for a couple of families with a ton of children.  It had just snowed and other than me losing an earring in the snow (John was nice enough to let me look for it- to no avail), we had a really fun time and the kids loved it.  I can’t believe the picture is still in circulation.  Yes, that’s me with the brown coat and pink scarf holding baby Joe.  Come to think of it, I have a brown coat I wear with a pink scarf now…
