Bree's Selection
We each had a different aspect of the decor that we liked. Ang loved the timber. Bree liked the piano in the middle of the room. The wrought iron decorations on the wall caught Dave's eye. Also, on each timber beam there was a glass lantern that housed a speaker. Admittedly it took us a while to figure out what they were. Yet again, Ang brought a plus one with a healthy appetite: Graeme. Funny how Ang has chalked up three while Dave has yet to have one. Ouch. Our appetizers included broiled egg plant, mussels and spicy Italian sausages. Thumbs up all around. There was sangria on the menu so Graeme and the ladies went bobbing for fruit as usual. For an entree Ang dived into a plate of black spaghetti - we found out that the black comes from the ink of an octopus. Bree had probably the best pork she ate in her life (and clams). Graeme needed a steak so he got a steak. No back flips for the steak. Dave chose his dish solely on its name: Deuling Wild Boar. It tasted a bit like chili but didn't live up to expectations. There were two songs' worth of entertainment performed by a guitarist and a songster crooning into an old-school microphone. It was great but just didn't last. (That's what she said). The singer sang Happy Birthday to a woman at the table behind ours. In keeping with Dinner Club rules, we sent over the dessert sampler which included creme brule, mousse, cheese cake and tiramisu. It looked so good that we ordered it too. It was perfect for our group of four. We enjoyed the food, our time together and the entertainment but Ang and Bree wanted the wine to be more accessible... the waiter kept the bottle at the bar. Hopefully it's not another three months until the next time!
