Quit with the negative waves, man.
The bride and I just had to bust off the reservation, so we headed over to ESN to try the diner. Nice little homey place, probably seats 25 on a good day, some large booths, clean and faces the runway. A patio too. Open M-F 11-3 for lunch.
Didn't wait for the menu, the owner got us right up front with Lobster bisque, lobster rolls and a split order of onion rings. Bisque was very silky with a couple nice chunks of claw and tail, with a hint of sherry. The lobster rolls were generous, on a toasted hot dog bun with lettuce. The onion rings, nice and crisp, lightly battered if slightly greasy. Could have stood to have the oil a tad hotter.
Sampled the sugar bun, and almost succumbed to the five chocolate fudge brownie, but a sugar coma would have ensued. Next time.
Damages were high, about $40 each including tip, but it was fun and the food was good. Little pilot shop to check out. A good spur of the moment lunch flight.
Tower was busy with training flights. Kept an eye out for Ron's Grumman. Maybe next time.
