remembering Sta. Rosalia restaurant


Around 25 years ago in Santa Rosalia we had a most amazing meal in a restaurant that then vanished; leaving us wondering if we had imagined the whole thing.
We must have been in line waiting for the ferry--that could take a day or two back then. We walked into town from the ferry terminal (our memories conflict on how far--I cede to Bob that it was just past the bakery on the left-hand side of the road). We stopped at a two story building with a restaurant on the ground floor and a balcony running around the hotel rooms on the second floor. The restaurant was large and airy, lots of windows. The prices were SO cheap that we ordered lobster thermidor. We were served a great salad, delicious soup, home-made bread, and incredible lobster. We were the only ones in the restaurant. We talked about that place for a year and couldn't wait to get back. The next year we made a beeline for it, mouths watering, and couldn't find it. Nothing that even resembled it. Did we imagine the whole thing? Does anyone else remember this place?

Sounds like the Hotel Central, where we stayed a couple of times in the 1960s. Great old wooden building with a lot of really WIDE lumber, which must have been brought back from Puget Sound by the ships that took copper ore to Tacoma to be refined. The hotel's still there, has something replaced the restaurant?
