Marcellos wine cafe was very crowded, 45 minute wait was only 10 minutes so that was a pleasant surprise.
I did have a virgin bloody mary, charged us full price, should have been half price in my book! oh well.
WE started off with some warm soft bread with some sort of butter on it, there was not any dipping olive oil or dip...it did not need anything.
WE decided on the stuffed portabella mushroom with crab and shrimp. It had a creamy sauce over it all which I thought was delicious, jeff said it was too much. Then I had a cup of artichoke and shrimp soup which was light and the shrimp was not over cooked! It was perfect.
My entree was delicious. I had the drum( a fish)....it was covered with fresh tender asparagus, lemon, capers and mushrooms. I loved this dish!
Jeff had some sort of lobster and seafood, and pasta, not his favorite, says he should have ordered the chicken marsala. WE each had a side of sauteed spinach which was quite garlicy and salty but very very good.
WE were full but went ahead and looked at the desert menu.....Jeff decided on a snifter of quantro and I had a lemon tart. WE shared the desert. It was so tart and wonderful, the freshly whipped cream on top helped to tame down the lemon flavor. I loved it!
Our server was great, student working on his masters MBA. He was very attentive and wished us a happy wedding anniversary.
We are happy and are getting ready to watch the last episode of downton abbey....this is our 3rd time watching all 3 seasons and won't watch it again till the season starts again in january or unless someone else posts them on you tube ahead of time.
anyway what a great meal! What a great day!
