Well it's raining cats and dogs so Dotty and I skipped the hike at Snoquamie Falls and went right to the Tap Room. The whole experience was, in a word, beautiful. I had the Prez, which I will describe. Dotty had some turkey, cranberry,and creamcheese thing which was beautiful too and which she loved. I had the Prez. First let me say this was not your traditional Jewish corned beef sandwich, so, if that's what you must have, go East young man. But please read on. The first thing that struck me when it was set in front of me was that it is beautiful. Frankly, I had never seen a beautiful sandwich before, usually I consume it and then look at the plate. When I did finally take a bite, a big one, the tastes were a symphony of just right flavors. I'm not kidding here. This huge sandwich is built ,or should I say created, with great dark rye, bib lettuce, swiss cheese ( at first I thought "who puts swiss cheese on a corned beef?") crisp red onions and perfect cut-across-the-grain corned beef-lots of corned beef. All this with just the right amount of Russian sauce-served with a crisp dill that would make any waiter at Katz's deli proud. I had the cole slaw as a side-a large tasty side.
I had tap root beer, refill is free. Again Excellent . I didn't have a beer cause I need my wits about me going down the hill to Fall City.
To top it off, the 'room' is extremely comfortable with wonderful old brewry posters and Snoqualmie Falls artifacts. There was even an old Ballantine Ale poster to make me homesick for Newark, NJ. I could almost hear Mel Allen broadcastng a Yankee game and shilling for Ballantine. Finally, the service. Dotty says I can't say that the waitress is beautiful too. She said I have to say service is friendly. But, just between you and me, if I was 40, (ok 50) years younger, had all my hair and a '55 Chevy BelAir... I bought a tee shirt to wear at the factory get together. :star :star :star :star :star
