Lunch in Napanee: Waterfront Restaurant, Part 2

First was our Trip to Napanee, Part 1 In Napanee, the heron and turtles (Napanee – the river, Part 3). Next, this post, lunch! This is one of our favourite spots.


The parking lot was FULL. Poor JB. I sat beside the water and waited for a table. He had to park across the street!

The servers are fast, efficient, polite, and they remember every detail.


I could have sat under the tent behind me, waiting in comfort for a table, but there were women gossiping and/or sharing health reports of family members! I chose to sit in the sun, beside these fountains.


My friend, Susan Oling, does amazing photos of waterfalls. I just played around with the settings for these fountains. Problem is, you need to write down the details, or practice them several times. I just had fun. There was a 9 oz. glass of wine beside me, too!


We regrouped, once our table was ready.



You've heard of 'manspreading?' That's where a man sits on the subway of bus, spreading out his knees, giving little space to those around him. I got up to go to the loo, and accidentally knocked this guy's arm as he was turned in his chair, spreading out and arm draped on the back of his chair, to take up space. sigh.


By the time we left, there was more parking. This guy, in the manly 4 x 4 with a vanity plate, had to park his delicate truck in the shade in the lane that leads to the boat ramp, while the rest of us tough chumps parked our cars in the sunshine!


On our way home, we popped into a winery. That's coming up!

"Manspreading" on public transport is usually a pervert kind of behaviour. It happens mainly during the 'rush hours' when the bus is crowded and the woman (victim of manspreading) has no alternative but to remain seated.

Doesn't a glass of wine just make every little problem just a little better? Love the pictures of the fountains. Very nice.

The large stone fountains, have I seen them before? Lovely place for lunch, even with a man with big arms!!!

I love your masthead photo of the sunflower, bee and grasshopper. 'Man spreading! Gr-r-r!

And maybe the seats were too close together.

Looks like a great place. Love the water feature. Manspreading is a new phrase to me but also something I've seen.
