Last Thursday (Thursday?), T took me out to dinner at Modesto. Can you believe I hadn't been there before? Everybody always raves about it!
By the pool before dinner
It's down on the Hill, which is a little odd for a Spanish restaurant, but who am I to judge? They seem to be working it down there; our food was delightful! We shared lots of stuff, including judias verdes (green beans), ajo frito (fried garlic), churros de tocino (bacon fried things - to call them doughnuts doesn't seem quite right), ensalata mixta (mixed salad), coca cebolla (onion flatbread), pichos de vieiras (scallop skewers), and chorizo (the night's special).
Oh, and of course there were dessert and wine as well: pudin de pan (bread pudding), churros y chocolate (doughnuts with chocolate sauce), and a bottle of the Arbanta Rioja.
As for the restaurant itself, it was much quieter and cozier than BARcelona - where we also were recently; actually these posts are out of order - but not nearly as convenient. They will probably both play a role in my future eating habits, depending on the circumstances of the particular day on which I am craving tapas.
