Old Town La Quinta
Charming area with one of a kind stores. Prices range from very high to definitely affordable. Friendly, helpful sales people.
Union River Lobster Pot
We arrived when they opened. It was a rainy day, so we ate indoors. We like to eat early because (in many restaurants) we find it easier to have a conversation before the establishment is full. In this case, dining room was spacious, with high ceilings and plenty of seating. By the time we left, all of the tables were taken. Still, we didn’t find it too noisy.
My husband ordered a glass of wine, a 2.5 pound lobster, and French fries. Our meal arrived well after the food at the two other tables where the orders were taken at the same time. The waitress explained that the delay was because of the size of the lobster— it took much longer to cook. It appears that it was worth it. My husband said the lobster was exceptionally good.
I had a salad with Cajun seasoned salmon with a small serving of tasty fruit chutney on top. Perhaps because the lobster had taken so long, my meal may have been waiting for a while so our dinners could be served together. I was expecting hot salmon on a bed of lettuce. It was just barely warm.
Our total came to $75 including tip. (They were having a special on the 2.5 pound lobsters.)
After my review was posted, I received a message from the owner asking me to speak up in future if everything was not precisely as I expected, and they would take care of it. I believe he was sincere, and would advise others to do the same.

California Theatre
A beautifully ornate movie palace built in 1927. The Wurlitzer organ was built in 1926 for the Fox Theater in Riverside, California. The theater is a wonderful setting, with no bad seats. Theater performances are often preceded by an organ concert by Jerry Nagano, a very skilled and talented organist. (This is true for ALL opera performances.)
