| - Maybe I went to a different place than everyone else, but after all the rave reviews, I was disappointed. I felt like I was trapped at a really bad country club somewhere in the midwest.
We were going to see the Phantom, and wanted a snack before the play, but not a full meal, so we chose the Cave.
From the moment we approached the hostess, the place felt awkward. Our hostess could not find a table, and sent for a fellow worker, who checked the rooms, but could not locate a table. Several people just walked in past us, which was curious, then another hostess arrived, who said maybe we could sit on the patio. Fine, it had been too cold and windy to sit there all day, but would we like to sit there?
Sounds, er, great.
We were led through three rooms, each with several empty tables seats amid the sparrows on a small outdoor balcony overlooking people being told to leave the pool, because it was too cold. I sat shiverring in my faux fur vest, happy I had dressed for the cold Phantom theater.
The waitress was very nice, and our orders arrived prompty. Tapas is my new obsession, so I was delighted with the selection, but the dates were a bit overdone, and the chicken rolls were also dry. The most fun I had was feeding the little sparrows who darted about delightedly.
I would give the place another try another day.
