The name says it all - the owner herself came to our table to explain that the restaurant was named after a mash-up of novel titles by her favourite author, Tom Robbins. We had a guest (Matt) with us for this Dinner Club. Upon stepping through the door, the first thing one sees is orange everywhere: orange drapery separates sections in the small restaurant. All told, Skinny Legs seats twenty-six people. Reservations are a must. This food was freaking tasty. We began with a thin crust pizza. Ask the waiter what's on it and he'll tell you, "Whatever is in the kitchen." All the food was sharzies. We had mixed veggies, chicken something, potatoes (with peanuts) in cream, feta and chili sauce (sauce + awesome = sausome), chirozo sausage... unbelievable! We just about licked the plates clean. That's how sausome it was. Once again, the girls had their sangrias! We ordered all four desserts that they serve: pine nut crust of goodness, creme brule, banana cream in a martini glass and pear crisp. The owner loved us so much she brought four shots of ice wine. The quote that begins this blog comes from the bathroom in this fine restaurant. Thanks Ang for going into the bathroom to photograph it for us with your cell phone cam.
