just a lazy day by the pool with more great weather in our first 18 days, only 1 full day washout and one cloudy dark morning and no watching for any potential H--------s
before dinner we stopped over Jewels & Beyond to pick up a sized ring which got sent out, it arrived while we were there and upon inspection they sent it back because of a couple of loose stones, makes me feel good that they inspect all sales thoroughly before giving to customer we have sent two couples from RI LaPlage this week to purchase wedding rings and both have been impressed with their non pressured sales and happy with their purchases one couple was in the store when we went back to get wife's ring and they had narrowed it down with a couple of stunning rings with pretty good sized center stone glad I don't have to go through picking out a wedding ring again especially how high gold has gone
following the reviews of many ( I do remember David's) we gave the Greenhouse a try we called the greenhouse to reserve a large prime rib we parked up the pretty steep hill only a few tables were occupied with a couple still in the pool and didn't see any other prime rib served, really low season the host got the night off to a good start with his infectious smile (unlike a not so welcoming greeting as mentioned earlier in the week somewhere else) Our server Harry ( looks like a body builder) had a great smile as well and was awesome He got our happy hour order in for drinks under the bell and offered to ring in next round and deliver them later although we only had a first round
In all honesty, we probably wouldn't go to the Greenhouse if it wasn't for the prime rib for me I really wanted to know that all is said is true as yes I had my doubts I hear people say for example that maybe Pineapple Pete's is the best restaurant on the island, makes me wonder where else they eat, not bashing Pete's, just an example as many people love Pete's, I just like it a lot for what it is
I didn't want a starter, but wife choose the chicken nachos to share a simple version with plenty of melted cheese and the added topping of chicken was very tasting, nothing else on the chips with sour cream, salsa and guacamole served on the side
warm Johnny cakes are served instead of bread which we enjoyed
my wife choose the coconut encrusted chicken topped with a lighter pineapple cream sauce which worked very well plenty was left over for today's lunch
My good sized prime rib arrived cooked to a perfect MR as requested, my wife had the first bite and approved after my first bite, I agree with all that have recommended it needless to say, a big portion of leftover will be enjoyed for lunch toady or maybe made into a sandwich later
when we asked Harry for some boxes, he was thoughtful enough to put in some small cups with lids filled with horseradish and sour cream for the half of baked potato this server is on point
I really think the food could have been lousy and we still would have had a nice evening because of Harry
Thank you to all for the great suggestions we had been to the Greenhouse a long time ago for happy hour at the bar and were not impressed with the appetizers
glad we came back and if in the mood for prime rib, know where to go no service is added to the final bill and Harry got the well deserved 25%
on our way home we pass our home base RI La Plage to try our luck at the Puerto Cupecoy casino we jump from one particular game to the same game on another machine (Larry Lobster) and usually hit about 10 machines playing until we hit the interactive which is usually a nice payout as mentioned we have won every night at this casino
last night we only hit 4 machines before we quadrupled our modest initial drop and wife wanted to leave with the winnings again only a few other in the casino, you almost get your drink before you sit down as the servers know we have the same after drink each visit the winnings for the night almost paid for dinner and we had fun
