Fitzers and Cafe Insane

The guys, Deirdre and I went to Fitzers on Dawson St tonight. Was great food, although the service was a tad lacklustre. Wine list was limited (read not enough choice in the sparkling options) but not too bad. My medium steak was more medium rare... Afterwards we headed to a very quiet Cafe en Seine. The bonus to a quiet Cafe is that you get to see what the venue looks like, which is gorgeous.

We ended up playing with the bluetooth feature of our phones, which is remarkably good fun in a crowd. We noticed that our fellow patrons included Jumbo, Miguel, Aoiffe and the crowd favourite - Sarah Smells.

Thai Orchid

Had dinner tonight at Thai Orchid on Westmoreland St - just on the corner of Temple Bar, with Marcel and Luigi. It was nice and quiet probably owing to the fact that it was a Wednesday night, and the food was lovely. It's nothing amazing, but it is dependable which is not a bad quality for a restaurant.

We ordered our own entrees and then shared a red curry, chicken with cashews and massaman. All good dependable dishes.

For the second time that I've ordered some sparkling wine here they tried to serve it in wine glasses not champagne flutes. They really do need to learn the difference between the glasses! Didn't see Vicki there - she mustn't have been working tonight.
