Message: | I think I'm with you, Mike. I went Monday afternoon, en route from the airport. We sat on the terrace, and ordered from the bar menu: yakitori, carpaccio, shrimp cocktail, and oysters.
The yakitori came out on laid out on top of what looked like a Bedrock doll house, and as she set it down the waitress said, apologetically, usually this is lit (like: let's pretend this is a grill). We looked at her, and she said, maybe I can see if they can light it, and disappeared for a bit. I'd ordered a glass of the Nicolas Feuillate rose champagne and in her absence realized that whatever I had before me, it wasn't pink.
I brought that to her attention when she returned with the smoking yakitori, and she said, sympathetically, yeah, I think they were out.
I could go on (what are the oysters? well, they're served raw.... I mean, where are they from? um, Washington?).
But after the bill ($120 for four appetizers and two drinks each) I think I won't.
