Red Sails Inn (Breakfast) (Shelter Island)

Hello.  You are looking at the food blog named mmm-yoso!!! and we thank you.  As you read this, Kirk is being conveyed, Ed (from Yuma) is planning transportation and Cathy is pretty much stationary.

Yes, The Mister and I are enjoying the sights of San Diego and having our own 'Staycation'.IMG_5704IMG_5693This overcast day brought us to Shelter Island.  At Shelter Island Drive aand Anchorage Lane-the first intersection when you enter the island-there is parking on your right (and if you head way back, there are no meters) and the restaurant, to your left, is unmistakable. IMG_5694The Red Sails Inn, which has been serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in this same location for almost 70 years.  It is uncrowded at the 7 a.m. daily opening time until about 9 a.m. We are breakfast people.IMG_5688IMG_5687IMG_5669Nautical decor, unchanged for possibly decades, somehow is comforting and nostalgic.IMG_5672The outdoor patio area is a perfect place to bring visiting friends. IMG_5673The Mister ordered the chalkboard special ($7.95), an omelet with ham, bacon, sausage and cheese.  It came with hash browns (or breakfast potatoes or cottage cheese or refried beans) and toast. This was an amazingly large overfilled omelet.  The sage-flavored breakfast sausage is made here, and it is good. (Coffee is $2.25).IMG_5678However, this day, I was recalling my catfish breakfast at Smokey's Lake Wohlford Cafe in Escondido and ordered the Fish & Eggs breakfast ($10.99).  Two quite large, meaty sole filets, lightly floured and fried along with (of course) poached eggs, rye toast and more hash browns (I wanted the crispy edges).  This was wonderful, fresh and so good.

A great start to another beautiful San Diego day.
