The restaurant was large, dark and mostly deserted. As I sat alone at my table I felt very small. Then my waiter showed up. He was so warm and friendly that I no longer felt out if place. I asked him to just bring me his favorite entree and appetizer, and he was happy to oblige.
My meal started with a potato dumpling, which was delicate and flavorful. The main course was the fish with a pasta side. It seemed like a lot of starch, but that's what my waiter liked, and it was very good.
I must have been early because it wasn't long before the restaurant started filling up. By the time the meal was finished I was especially glad I went.
