4 /5 Kathy Richardson: After some time off between PT sessions due to timing conflicts, I was finally back for an early morning session. My shoulder and arm are still pretty locked up so new exercises were created so I can get more range of motion so I can do little things like scratch the back of my neck or shampoo the top of my head.
We were on our way to another place that supposedly had lots of parking but found none. Another search and Rosewood popped up so off we went.
This restaurant used to be a neighborhood grocery store. The restaurant owners kept many fixtures, like the door to the meat cooler, the original cash register, and one set of floor to ceiling glass folding doors.
We were seated immediately, handed menus and a covered carafe of cold water. The drinking glasses are Ball canning jars.
I thought it was odd that we weren’t offered coffee, so when our server came to take our order I asked about coffee. Ray and I ended up ordering mocha espressos, which were quite good.
The breakfast menu was very unique, right down to a breakfast salad which I have never seen before. Ray and I each ordered the Sunrise Skillet. Ray had his with sausage. I chose bacon. Both of us chose to have scrambled eggs. Toast is not included, nor offered, so I requested it. Ray asked for wheat toast which they do not serve. We each ordered sourdough. I am glad we each ordered toast because the side was one piece. When served, we had to request jam.
Our breakfasts arrived, hot and made to order. The flavors were incredible and complemented one another. While green hot sauce was on the table, (my preferred), there was no need for condiments!!
Our servings were large enough for us to each take about half home.
The next table arrived for lunch. Listening to them discuss some of the menu items intrigued me enough to want to go back.
This is a very cute, quaint little neighborhood restaurant in a beautiful area, of the original part of north Tacoma. There is decent parking and outdoor dining in nicer weather.
