Some things are not worth waiting for….

I realize I haven’t posted many photos of our fall foliage this year.

.

.

The reason being it hasn’t been a very good leaf peeping season.

.

.

Oh, there’s color…

.

.

But by Maine standards it’s been very muted this autumn.

.

.

Too much rain late in the summer and an early mini cold snap that forced the trees to turn too soon could be the reason.

Anyway…

After running a few errands down south, we realized we’d skipped lunch and headed to a very popular Wells restaurant for an early dinner.

.

.

Off season, on a Thursday… and there was a line half an hour before they opened. We weren’t going to wait, but.

It’s a steakhouse and my husband loves a good steak.

When the doors opened and the mad rush for upstairs dining was in full force, we took the road less traveled and headed for the bar on the first floor.

This place is impossible to get in during the summer, jam packed every night so we were expecting amazing things.

.

.

My appetizer was not one of them.

Shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms. Dry uninteresting balls of stuffing they must have waved a crab over and called it good.

.

.

Two overly sweetened cocktails in, my salad was basically a bowl of iceberg lettuce drenched in bottled blue cheese.

.

.

We both ordered the filet mignons, which were decent enough… though nothing to gush over.

Places like this always make me wonder why people are willing to stand on line for basically nothing special.

  3. Yep… with the exception of the cherry tomatoes, that salad looks exactly like the pkgd salad w/blue cheese dressing that I’ve been gaving at home for several days (accidentally bought WAY more salad mix than I planned).

      1. I feel the same. I thought I ordered 2 small bags as quick meals. I unknowingly ordered 2 giant bags – I doubt I’ll finish 1 before they go bad (no neighbors wanted the 2nd bag).
