| - A friend and I finally got around to trying Lisa G earlier this week. I was having "one of those days," and when I arrived at Lisa G a few minutes before my friend, I plopped myself down at the bar and ordered myself a big glass of Zin.
I'm what I consider an "independent woman," but for the most part, it would have been more common for me to wait outside for my friend before indulging in a glass. There was something about the ambiance of the restaurant that was very inviting. Another single woman was also at the bar enjoying a beverage, and there were only a few tables in use. (It was about 7:30 PM on a Tuesday night)
My wine was amazing, but Allison and I were a bit baffled by the menu for dinner. At first we had no idea what to get. We ended up splitting the steak salad and the empanadas. The salad was very good, but the empanadas were cold inside. I'm not sure if they are supposed to be this way, but I was expecting warm veggies inside ... especially since one of the varietes was supposed to have cheese.
We also enjoyed the creme brulee - perhaps the best part of the meal. I hadn't had creme brulee in years, and this was great.
What will keep me coming back to Lisa G is this: The wine was great. The seating outside was lovely. And, my friend and I were able to chit-chat to our hearts content.
I do recognize that we were there on a Tuesday night, though. The space is rather small, so I probably won't try to catch a quick meal before the theatre on a Saturday night.
