So, in we go. It really is beautiful. Low lighting and elegant surroundings and the service........attentive and impeccable. We sat in the lounge, and we're immediately brought champagne. So, anyone that knows me knows champagne and I, alcohol and I, are not the best of friends. LOL. And at 1 pm in the afternoon? Well recipe for disaster. Diz-a-sta as GaGa says. Hehe. Anyhow, it wasn't a disaster, it was just lovely. They brought us tiny little appetizers to try and we settled on the three course luncheon. I had no idea what we were getting as the menu was in Dutch, but B assured me it would be good. So......let the adventure begin.
We were show to our table, more appy's, more wine! And we hadn't even started the three courses yet. You get a different wine with each course. I was worried about getting drunk and falling down those stairs we had to cliamb up when it was time to leave., but since this was once ain a lifetime experience, I wasn't going to not drink the wine. I have no idea what the first one was, only that it was good.a. Rally agood. And i never say that about wine.
B and I chatted like old friends. It's sort of weird and scary to meet a penpal - I was so nervous! - but it was just fine and not weird at all. Was it weird, B? I think we were both in disbelief that we had actually met, but besides that, it was really good. :)
We ate things like quail and caviar - yes, I ate caviar! I couldn't bring myself to try the eel - I had this vision of Julia Roberts smacking the eel to kill it in that weird John Malchovich movie Mary Riley. Hehe. Eel was a bit much for me, I must admit. We had sea bass and chicken as a main course. It is all about the presentation. The portions are very small, but the plate looks like art. It is so beautiful. I would have taken pictures, but it would have been uncool in such a classy place. But I will never forget what it looked like.
Part three coming up.......
Stupid iPad"............I think I am returning it when I get home. I don't like it at all.
