| - My rating is 2.5 stars, but I will round down.
I still have a number of reviews to do when I was in Montreal in early September. I was there to train a few colleagues. I suppose that is what happens when work gets in the way. I end up having a fair number of reviews to do.
My first workday was Tuesday, the day after Labour Day. I had a good day training them on our writing application and the writers were friendly.
My boss decided to call a meeting at 5 pm that day. Note that I had been at the office for eight hours already and was hungry. Of course, the three men on the teleconference, including my boss, could not wrap up a thirty-minute meeting. Instead, they were still at it at 6:30 pm. I was not impressed and said that I needed to cut this discussion short. I cannot concentrate when I am hungry. I also don't appreciate folks who cannot get to the point.
So, I drove over to Divino, which was a restaurant close to my hotel. This restaurant is by the movie theatre in which I paid $5 for a matinee over a year ago. It helps that I knew that there were restaurants around me.
I parked and then walked into the restaurant. It wasn't busy. I was quickly seated at a table. I ordered a Diet Coke, the bolognese ragu, and tiramisu for dessert.
My bolognese ragu was essentially spaghettini with a soupy tomato sauce consisting of ground beef. The pasta was done well. I didn't like the sauce. I remember leaving what looked like soup and fishing out the ground beef.
For dessert, I had the tiramisu. It was okay. I love tiramisu. It's my favourite dessert. I have had much better.
I thank the restaurant for making my stomach stop growling. Perhaps I will come back and try the risotto with mushrooms. I am hoping that I do better with that dish than the bolognese ragu.
