Probably will return.
Two floors – both have bathrooms. High ceiling toward front of the restaurant. Clean industrial decor. Good service with very good foods.
Love their cute glassware – short, fat and round.
One server brought our food as I was taking a picture. He apologized… shouldn’t I the one to apologize? I did. Then wondered why am I always taking pictures … oh right, for self consumption – my pictorial diary.
Wine – although both reds are good but Garnacha is definitely better than Triton: smoother and fuller.
We’ve:
- Fried artichoke – most appetizing and delicious
- Calamari – good
- Beef cheek, slow braised – very good
All is good and just when we’re thinking to have another round of wines and one more plate, I bit on a hard piece, that looks like plastic. When the bill came I asked our server who said, “which one it’s from?”
“Either the beef or calamari.”
“It maybe the skin of the onion, but I’ll ask the manager.”
When he returned for signature, he said nothing. So was it onion skin or plastic?
… after dinner, we went to the opera house for Carmen, which was a smooth sail.
