On Saturday night Elissa and I went for Spanish food. Encasa is a vibrant restaurant serving classic Spanish dishes in a homely environment. That menas it's busy, loud and serves lots of seafood, and the furniture doesn't match. But the food was really excellent - particularly the artichoke hearts and the chorizo a la sidra. We had those, potatoes in tomato and garlic sauce, stuffed olives, an omelette with spinach and a penne bolognese (it wasn't all Spanish) and the bill, including $5 corkage, came to about $56. That's about twenty five pounds in the old money. We almost sent it back to ask them to look at it again, but the phrase "excuse me, shouldn't you be charging us more?" sticks in my throat for some reason.
Of course, Elissa did spend most of the night being sick, but I think that's a bug that's going round, as I have a bit of a cold today, so I'm trying not to draw any conclusions from that. We'll go again. And if we end up feeling sick again, we'll know. If we don't, I can't recommend Encasa highly enough.
