Memories:
Reuben E. Lee
By: Bill Martin, 27 Mar. 2002
I worked at Rueben E Lee in the late 70's. We called it the boat or
the tiolet. The place was hoppin at night when the bands were playing.
I met a lot of my freinds there. The New Year Eve Dinner of 1976 was
crazy we served 1563 dinners upstairs alone with one cook short. I was
the lead cook then i was flipping out.

I remember driving by the REL and seeing it tilted to one side. My
husband stopped the car and we watched while the fire department tried
to figue out how to get a VW bug out from UNDER it. Well, they waited
for the tide to change a pulled it out with one of those really big
tow truck What I always wanted to know was ...How it get there in the
first place

My friend scott Hollender and I used to pull a small boat up to the
Ruben E Lee and have a meal. Great times!

In 1967 I was a buss-boy at the Ruben E. Lee, for a short time. It
was quite a boat. When the Newport Beach Fire Boat zoomed past, the
whole restaurant would rock and sway. I never saw any plates slide off
tables, but the patrons would stare intently at their coffee or water
glasses.
