He started with a caipirinha, or a Brazilian margarita, a most interesting concoction made from a Brazilian sugar cane liquor called cachaca instead of tequila and Rose's lime instead of the orange-flavored Triple Sec. He liked it a lot and thought it was a great, light, summer drink.
For his dinner, he started with fried mozzarella cheese with marinara dipping sauce. He thought the cheese could have been fried a little longer so the cheese in the large rectangular pieces could have been melted a bit more, and, from the looks of the plate, I think they were a bit on the greasy side. He ate all of it, though.
Then, for his main course, he had a salmon burger with fries, the "burger" being a piece of salmon fillet rather than a hand-formed salmon patty. He said he liked it better than a regular beef burger.
Sorry about the salmon burger picture: I forgot to take pictures when the food arrived, so Leo had already eaten half before I remembered....I also forgot to take a picture of my food, but you didn't really miss anything visually. I had their California chopped salad, something I've had here before, a big plate of greens with grilled chicken, roasted corn, blue cheese, bacon, and avocado.
They actually had bread on hand for a change and brought us large round rolls while we waited for our food.
