On Restaurants Worth Writing About

For anyone who cares, Michael did the restaurant much more justice than i did, so you should read his post: http://cuppaurlgrey.com/v-web/b2/index.php?p=472 (he even corrected me on the use of the link, :D)

Last night was spectacular. Danit, Laura, Michael and I went downtown to what sounded like an excellent Tapas restaurant which had been rated in Zagats. Cafe Iberico (with an accent on both e's) It was phenomenol. It was huge. The impression given off by the crowded bar/waiting room (hallway more like) was of a small cozy restaurant. Our wait of 45 minutes seemed reasonable since the cafe didnt accept reservations on weekend nights and we all figured that it was the sign of a good restaurant. When we were led to our seat we found ourselves in one of three huge dining rooms. The waiters were amazing, carrying plates stacked all the way up one arm but the food was even more amazing. I got baked goat cheese with tomato basil sauce and vegetable spanish omlete which was more like potato quiche, very very very tasty. Other people got scallops and pototoe salad and salmon and chichen and so much good food. And we had great desserts of either ice cream filled crepes with strawberry sauce or sauteed carmelized banana (I went for the former) with cafe con leche. And to top off the most excellent dining experience, we were all in such good moods and the conversation and company was impecable. I would recommend the restaurant to anyone who likes tapas (spanish side dishes made small so you can order two for your meal) and wants to explore downtown La Salle street. It is obviously not an unknown to the UC crowd, we saw someone who lived in our dorm last year and my stat TA there.

After eating for an hour and a half, we caught the redline followed by the 6 back to shoreland. We were going to watch a movie but it wouldnt play on the DVD player when Laura figured out that it still played on her computer. Unfortunately, we figured out the reason it wouldnt play on the DVD player when it stopped working at the very end right before the ending. Ah, well, such is life I suppose.

Today: a day at the library with my textbooks and my notebooks. I wish everyone out there in internet land a good day!
