Gut feelings

We all have them, you encounter something and you suddenly feel one of two ways.  This is going to be awesome!  Or, I need to get out of here as fast as possible, this looks like it might not be so great.  Going for a ride in the car, awesome.  Stopping at the vet to get shots, oh well.  Stopping at the vet to get my ears cleaned, might not be so great.

Laura was craving hot wings at The Schooner in Netarts.  Mike and Laura have been there for lunches and dinners, stops on the Ducati & Stella rides and even to hear music in the bar.  Mike usually gets a pizza that is baked in a brick oven.  So they are used to waiting for the meal, the pizza takes a while.  So last night they go, hot wings on the brain, and they wait a few minutes for a table.  They then discover that the regular menu is not available,  it's Thai Tuesday.  That is when they got that feeling. . .

They know that in the past, things have been slow.  Now add in an entirely new menu, a full restaurant and bar and the fact that Mike doesn't like Thai food or any Asian food.

They decide to stay, they have a great table and server.  Mike notices that everyone in there knows each other.  Locals, this is a good sign.  Mike also remembers that the chef is Asian and has cool chef's knife tattoo's on her arm, hey that's her in the ad.  So they order, Mike a vegi stir fry, Laura gets half a chicken grilled.

It's busy and about 45 minutes after we order, Mike gets his dinner.  Laura's will just be a minute.  Well, Laura has her eye on the pass and she sees the chickens that came off the grill around the time Mike's dinner was served and they all end up in the bar.  So 45 minutes later, she gets her dish.  Now a chicken isn't standard unit of measure, but neither is a basketball and we all know how big a basket ball is.  This half of a chicken was tiny.  So as Mike slowly ate his dinner, Laura was done rather quickly.

So bottom line here, if you like Thai food, check them out on Tuesdays.  I wish they had Thai beer to go along with the food.  Mike's dinner was OK, Laura's was really late and not that exciting.

The wings and pizza, that's what we at The Craftsman B&B recommend about the Schooner!  This was the first week of Thai Tuesdays, so we wish them successful services in the future.
