madbakerIn happier news, the wife and I went out for dinner last night to celebrate her birthday. She picked a neighborhood restaurant that, conveniently, was only about 15 minutes (flat) walking from our house. It came well-recommended.
It was a pleasant walk; the weather was gorgeous and we were in no hurry. The restaurant itself is a smallish place (formerly known as a neighborhood bar that served a good hamburger). We started with asparagus and lobster bearnaise (lovely) and grilled broccoli with squid (a bit too salty due to the fish sauce, but still tasty). Then the house specialty, a half smoked duck with roasted root veg. That was spectacular and we didn't try to finish it all. We took it home to have over salad for dinner tonight. Dessert was chocolate pudding (good, but nothing that special) and tiny buckwheat doughnuts (tasted like a cross between a doughnut and a churro; it was a standout).
They have a small bar seating area and I could easily see making that a regular date night outing. Have a glass of wine and a bar bite like one of their house-made charcuterie items, then walk home. I'd also like to go back with some of our friends to try more of the dinner menu.
