The Delta King is a permanently anchored steamboat on the Sacramento
River in Old Sacramento and is a hotel.
The steamship features a nice restaurant called the Pilothouse.
The events staff at the hotel created a custom menu for my celebration
luncheon, but they kind of messed up on the title. LOL.
We had preselected appetizers for the first course. This is the
eggplant hummus served with warm pita.
Some of the other appetizers included Spanish mushrooms, shrimp wonton
tacos, and naan pizza.
My parents and brother are enjoying the first courses.
I chose the salmon for my main course.
Our waitress took a group photo of us.
My wife ordered a champagne cake from the Freeport Bakery.
What is in the Tiffany bag? My lovely wife got me a pair of the
"bean" cufflinks by Elsa Peretti from Tiffany!
My wife and I are posing outside of the restaurant on the deck of the
steamboat.
My family is posing for a picture by the railroad museum in Old
Sacramento.
Here is a picture of some of Joy's relatives with my family.
The railroad museum had a train that was leaving for a short tour when
we were heading out.
The valet parked my Volvo S60 up front. My brother was surprised
that Sacramento is so crappy that a $42,000 luxury car is the best car
to display up front by the valet. LOL.
In August of 2019, I
received a big promotion at my job. After winning three national
awards and receiving high ratings on my reviews in the last few years,
I qualified for the promotion to Executive. The Executive
promotion is the highest level for my position as a therapeutic
business specialist. To celebrate my success, I wanted to host a
luncheon for both my family and my wife's family. So, I set up a
luncheon at the Pilothouse Restaurant at the Delta King in Old
Sacramento. The Delta King is an old steamboat that was converted
into a hotel. The boat is permanently anchored onto the banks of
Old Sacramento.
My brother even flew up from Las Vegas for this
special day. Moreover, my wife ordered a champagne cake from the
Freeport Bakery, which is a gourmet bakery in the Sacramento
area. She also got me a nice pair of ruthenium Elsa Peretti
cufflinks from Tiffany too as a gift for the big Executive Roy!
After arriving at the captain's table that was set up for our private
event, we saw a custom menu that the staff created for us. I
preselected lots of nice appetizers including naan pizza, shrimp wonton
tacos, eggplant hummus, and Spanish mushrooms. For the entree
selections, one could order salmon, shrimp louie, black bean burger, or
udon chicken salad. Dessert was the cake of course. The
cake was really delicious. Our waitress had the kitchen keep the
top of the cake for me to take home, and they sliced into the bottom of
it and plated it with a little sauce on the bottom. I was very
impressed with the service of the staff.
We all enjoyed the views of the river from our
table, and we also enjoyed walking around Old Sacramento after the
lunch. The railroad museum had a scenic train that was leaving as
we were departing from the restaurant. My brother was surprised
that my $42,000 luxury sedan was the best car that the valet could keep
displayed up front. LOL. He said there are no Ferraris here
in Sacramento. I told him Sacramento is kind of the armpit of
civilization. Just Kidding. Well, maybe not. That is
why Joy and I leave Sacramento so much to go vacation in nicer areas.
