| - Ahh, Osteria Medici... So here is the story. We were eating out after a rather nasty week in the office, going wherever. Driving past a classy-looking building, and K-man is like: "Here's some Italian place, let's go there? what do you think?" And we were like - ok, we are hungry.
So we sort of park that rental Malibu and dropped in. The place looked, well classy inside, too. We have been seated at a nice round table, and all the expensive forks and crusty napkins and stuff were around, intimidating. And the guys were like: "Ok Sergey you know about wines, so why won't you choose one to start?"
I am confidently pulling out a menu and start browsing. And smiling. And browsing and smiling more and more. And I'm like: "Hey people, the cheapest shush here is about seventy bucks a bottle, but that should be some garbage - are you into something like hundred and fifty a bottle?"
And the waiter was like: "Oh sure sir, but that's cheap as well - real good stuff starts on this page... And oh yes, like five hundred a bottle and up. So we kinda laugh (awwwkwaaard...) and choose something reasonable, and well, there went plates, and one of the girls was like: "I am going for a dessert only, this is it!"
Anyway, the food was surprisingly ok. Surprisingly - because for that amount of green president faces it should have been smacking awesome! Same as the size of the portion. Main course look and feel was like an appetizer. Service was obviously top-notch, they have not even laughed at us too much - what can you get from such a bunch of cheap rats...
They've also messed up - brought a plate with some pork without asking and failed, as one of us was a Muslim. At the end of it we've finished the dinner and went away with a wind blowing through our pockets - still hungry - and only then noticed a board next to the entrance. And on that board there were the photos of all those funny people who have visited the place on their trip to Calgary - like Luciano Pavarotti, some astronauts, president Clinton (or something) and so on. Cool place we've chosen - laughed at ourselves a lot! :-)
And just a couple of weeks later there was a story with Oilers busting like fifty thousand bucks at Osteria Medici and refusing to pay because they were still hungry, and such a stars, and so on - so, see, we were in the same league with celebrities! That alone was worth parking that freaking Malibu in a rather dense setting...
