Well, it was ok. Jess wanted to try it. so tada, we went... it is near her B-day and all that crap..so she's picking some activities for us to do... and we never...NEVER do stuff like this..so we're going to a few apparently... And let's consider the fact that we never went anywhere for our b-days before... since they always corespond with school midterms, so, we're making up for missed ... missed celebrations :P. And I didn't spend the 200 grandma sent for christmas... which went to grocery money when we forgot to go to bank that time... so i hope that'll make it ok...
Woah, i saw the menu, it was like 20+ dollars for main course..and that was just pastas and stuff... woah! good thing we're doing this now... when it's tourism special... hehe cheaper than usual..yahhh
The appitizer
I got "Granchio Limonata Crab and rock shrimp cake with a peperoncino and lime aioli" while jessica got "Rucola e Carciofi braised Italian artichoke hearts stuffed with mozzarella, served with cherry tomatoes, local arugula and tossed with a herb succo".
Mine's was ok, i got it w/out the mayo lime sauce... so it was good, if it had the sauce i'd be ewwwwwww. Jess's..tasted like cheese... lots of cheese.
Main Course
I got "Medaglioni di Vitelo porcini dusted roasted veal tenderloin medallions with a morel mushroom and cognac cream" and Jess got lamb braised in red wine sauce...
it was super small!!! very small... not filling at all, the mashed potatoes tasted like soft butter which i don't like, no potato taste at all. The vegetables; peas (2 stalks) crunchy and chewy, carrots (1 baby carrot)... ok. the mixed veggies(small spoon fill) was sourish, but it was in a tomato base, but it was very over cooked and mushy.
The beef melted in your mouth, but only 2 small small slices...
All in all, main course not filling, so me and jessica just ate 4 helpings of the bread basket :P
Desert: we got one of each, since there were only 2. Tiramisu, it was ok, very rich and creamy, but very few lady fingers. Chocolate shavings lacking, only small sprinkle on top. Jess's cherry thing ...cherry sauce sour and didn't mix well when you ate it with the sweet cream and toasted philo pastery.
Next week, no idea, jess hasn't told me where... but it'll be a surpise, and i'll try to remember to take pictures w/ my cell phone... I forgot this week :(
