Restaurant Review: The Sunset

Review: The Sunset Restaurant - Auburn, NY

We had dinner on Saturday night at the Sunset Restaruant. We did not have reservations, but our party of six was seated within 15 minutes. Our waitress brought a huge basket of delicious bread. A few minutes later, a heaping plate of a very tasty pizza bread arrived. The generous bread portions, left no room for appetizers.

Dinners at the sunset usually include a salad and side item which is a nice change of pace when many restaurants make you order each item separately. My cracker-crumb topped baked scrod tasted fresh and delicious. My husband ate every last bite of his Chicken Sunset, a chicken and broccoli dish. Even though most of us were quite full, we had to try the desserts. The Coconut Cream Pie is a definite winner as is the Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae, though the brownie was a bit hard to cut through.

Highland Park Golf Club - Auburn, NY

My Husband and I played a round of golf at Highland Park Golf Club yesterday afternoon. It was a gorgeous day for golf in the Finger Lakes area. :)

The course reserves tee times for members on weekends before 1:00, but we were able to reserve a tee time shortly after. The course was very pretty and well-maintained. The staff and other golfers seemed very friendly which made us feel much more comfortable as new golfers who are still trying to learn the game. We only played the first 9 holes out of 18, and found each hole to be challenging but fun.
