| rev:text | 	Happy hour, over a week ago, consisted of the calamari w/ aioli, a glass of Rene Barbier red, and brandy-flambeed flan.  Had more of those terrific dinner rolls!  First thing I noticed when presented w/ the plate of calamari was the lovely color!  Was it saffron, I asked?  Why, yes!  These calamari rings were dipped in saffron-infused batter... These rings were beautiful and tasty!  I really like the simple aioli here.  And the flan?  Xavier made a deal w/ me that if I didn't think it the best I've ever tasted, then he wouldn't charge me the $7 price tag.  While it WASN'T the best I'd ever had (my Mom makes the best flan!  Heck, even I can make a killer flan- she says so modestly), it was still very, very good and I didn't see the need to be cunning about it, so I paid.  Willingly.  
Next visit- frog legs and a sangria (or two)! |
