When it comes to eating out, I have always been a creature of habit. I've eaten out a couple times since the New Year and I always end up at a chain restaurant I've been to a hundred times before - like Olive Garden or Famous Dave's.
Since adding eat at five new restaurants to my resolution list in January (Resolution No. 2), I've thought a few places I'd like to try, but haven't really made much of an effort.
This weekend when I was out and about with my cousin for some wedding favor shopping for her upcoming May nuptials, she suggested we stop at Rosy's at the Beach for lunch. The restaurant is in downtown Morgan Hill and I've heard good things about it so I agreed. But perhaps I should have realized that any restaurant that is in the landlocked Santa Clara Valley with the word "Beach" in the title probably has something to do with seafood.
As it turns out, almost everything on the menu had something to do with fish or shellfish, both of which I don't eat. I was a little worried since my experience at seafood restaurants has been that they don't really do very well with their non-fishy items. Blame it on Hawg's seafood, where I used to go with colleagues at San Jose State. There was one non-fish item on the menu and it was horrendous.
I settled on half a wedge salad and half a portabello mushroom sandwich. There is really no way to go wrong with a wedge salad since as long as the iceberg lettuce is crisp and the salad was good with its creamy balsamic vinaigrette. As for the sandwich, it was good, but it was certainly something I could have easily made at home.
The decor was nice and the restaurant had a locally-owned vibe to it, which I always like. It was crowded enough on a late Saturday afternoon. But it is probably best left to seafood lovers and not those like me who don't eat anything harvested from the water.
