As clinic was nearing lunchtime, I called Jeff and Erween to meet them for lunch. Unfortunately Jeff had class and Erween said he would meet me after getting his haircut. We decided to go to Sundowners, a low budget Denny's type restaurant. We wanted to eat fish, but the $20 plates were not so appealing. While I was waiting for Erween, I went to my storage unit to look for notes for school and during that process, I found my "Little Fisherman" punch card and I was due for a free meal. I was pretty excited and asked Erween if he was still interested in eating fish...

I decided to have the Mexican Sea Bass with a double portion of rice (in place of their salad, which is pretty good too). Erween went with the Halibut also with double rice. We added a Tiramisu and Chocolate dream cake to our order. We were catching up and drinking our water with lemon when our food came out. It looked and smelled so delicious! I opted for extra tarter sauce (their own secret recipe) and doused my Bass with it.

OH MY GOODNESS! The Sea Bass was so savory! I was tempted to cancel my chocolate dream cake and order another entree. Erween convinced me that it may not taste as good as it just did because now my taste buds were already teased. So I didn't do it. I've had the Halibut too, which is so tasty! The dream cake was decent...but the Tiramisu was to die for! Yes...I actually used that expression with the waitress and she just laughed. Erween almost ordered another dessert too!

After our meal we just sat there for about 15 minutes raving about our scrumptious meal. It was and explosion of flavor! (yes...yes...a line from Ratatouille) We sat there entranced like we just had an orgasm or something...the food was that good.

I have been eating at this place for a few years. I think it was JR Aprecio who introduced it to me. I normally order from the grilled menu although they do have a fried menu too. The fish varies each season and Michael Kalina, the owner, obtains his fish FRESH each morning. The fresh fish can be wrapped and brought home to cook yourself too. I've had the Salmon, Halibut, Chilean Sea Bass, Swordfish, and now the Mexican Sea Bass. They do offer other seafood if that's your cup of tea. Their dessert isn't listed on the menu and is limited to stock on hand (it's all homemade)

If you enjoy eating fish...and I'm not talking about a Fillet-o-fish or a Tuna melt from Farmer boys, I'm talking about quality seafood...then call me up and we'll sit down to the best fish meal you'll ever experience in the Inland Empire! =)
