My late wife and I loved going to this joint on our two trips (together) to the West coast. On all my trips to the region (save one), I made an effort to stop by this place for some of the freshest seafood I could get. Even though it has changed hands since I was last out there, I expect that the new owners will treat the place with the respect it deserves, so that it can attract customers for many years to come.
So why do I open up about a restaurant a continent away from where I live? The answer to that is simple. I'm thinking of making a future Hawaii cruise an open jaw trip at both ends. Instead of flying to Hawaii from New York (and returning to New York after the cruise), I'm thinking of flying to LA to see my Uncle, then flying to Hawaii for the cruise. After the cruise, I would like to fly to San Francisco and visit some of the places my wife and I enjoyed when we were in the Bay area. From there, I would then fly home to New York after a San Francisco stopover. (Or course, I could fly to San Francisco first, then return home from LA.)
Considering that my uncle is 87 years old, I'm not sure if I should put off a trip to LA next year. But I certainly don't want to let him know about Marian. Why put him under any additional stress? Yet, I want to be able to afford that Hawaii cruise. So, I'm going to need to make a hard decision soon....
