Last minute decision to join our fav couple (Steve and Carol Lageson) for a Saturday night dinner. Carol, who by the way is the Mom of Cara Lageson, Cleveland and now Seattle's Yelp! CD, took care of getting the reservations and was able to get one at our desired time. Considering it was a Winter/Fall/Back to Winter/Back to fall day figured everyone would be dining in. Yes they were, and so did we.
Always start our meal of an order of Guac! Fresh, and a good size portion starts the evening off. Mojito's for the table and the evening starts off just right.
Malcolm (no not the one in the middle - he's heard that before, but our server) showed the new way the menu was set up and let us drink and talk before asking for our orders! THIS was very rewarding. Yes, I know servers like to get things in, but at times, diners like to enjoy conversation at diner w/o a rush. Malcolm did that and always kept an eye out to get to us when we were ready.
Easy choosing for all of us; various taco dishes. Do love the Cubano Sandwich but their variety of soft tacos are the best around. One had the pulled pork; chicken; beef and I had the blackened fish. Let me tell you, if you love fish or don't like fish, you should have these at least once. No "fishy" taste but a seasoned mouthful! Tender tasty pieces smothered in a variety of veggies and a lime sauce that is spot on. All dishes were consumed, except one that planned on having Sunday lunch!
Normally we are so full we by-pass desert, but tonight we splurged. Two orders of Fried donuts and a serving of Mitchel's rum cake ice cream. Great endings to a great night.
One suggestion, if possible get Malcolm's area, he will compliment your evening perfectly!
