a japanese visit

I met some friends here for dinner
Saturday night. We have several Japanese Steakhouses in town that I have visited,
but I had never eaten at this one.
We all ordered the same thing...hibachi chicken which is grilled chicken, veggies, and rice.
It also comes with soup and salad. In other words...it was a lot of food! :-) It was tasty, but not as flavorful as I expected. I think I like Chinese better...I'm a sweet and sour gal!
But the company was great and that was the most important thing... it's not what we ate, but who we were with, :-)

Inside, it was pretty basic ...booths and hibachi grills
with benches. But, outside, they have gone all out
with their landscaping. The water wheel was turning
and the sound of the water made the
warm evening seem a little cooler.

Palm trees, flowering shrubs and statuary
filled the space on the other side of the sidewalk
from the water wheel. I like the lamp post, too.
They always look welcoming to me.

And they had their own ship.
The hull is wood, the sails are aluminum.
Pretty cool looking.

It was fun hanging out with the girls this weekend
while the Hubby was on a church men's retreat.
Baseball, food and fellowship...it's an
All American thing
even if the food is Japanese! :-)
