On advice of a friend, I snuck down here today to catch a glimpse of this multi-faceted gem. Boasting breakfast, books, international news, wine flights, Filet Mignon for Dinner and tapas, it's hard to conceive of anything you can't do here. Outside veranda seating, inside bookstore/reading room, and spacious upstairs seating. WiFi free internet. Scheduled foreign language practice sessions on Thursday nights. And Half Price wine by the glass on Wednesday's. I don't know bout you but I'm thinking this place is a winner. Maybe we should all meet some Thursday...speak a little Spanish...Have the intellectual scene... (OK name that reference!)
I started with a Sicilian Mimosa (Spanish Cava and Blood Orange juice...cute!) and then had Nicoise Sandwich (picture the salad on a artisinal roll). Mom always said if the sandwich doesn't drip off you elbows, it's no good, and she would have approved mightily of this one. Even the girl at the next table warned me about tryong to eat it without a knife and fork. But with the gauntlet passed, I had to finish it en mano. Glass of White Haven New Zealand Sauv Blanc topped it all off. So West End boy lives thru a trip into the Bottom! And didn't even have anyone to hold my hand or guard the car! This city is getting down right civilized. Now if they could only tame Northside.
