So usually, staff members and I go out to celebrate birthdays and this year was no exception. The "winter birthdays" is a group I am happy to be a part of -- we are a great group of foodies. With so many restaurants in the downtown it's usually a struggle to agree upon one, but we unanimously chose Gastro Bar since we hadn't had a chance to try it since it opened a few months ago. The name isn't what I'd usually seek out in a resto -- "gastro" What does that mean really? Nonetheless, it was a terrific choice. Not too crowded for lunch, so we were able to get in some good gossip - I mean "conversation" going. Nice.
I ordered the Prix Fix lunch special - an affordable $16. They do tapas too, but I went all out prix fixe. House salad, mashed potatoes, wilted kale and a seared piece of talapia. It was a lot of food, and I ate it all. A true testament to a good eatery is when I lick the plate clean.
We had desert too. To blow candles we needed a sweet piece of cake, so we all shared a giant piece of tiramisu -- another yum notch on the belt.
I like this place. I'll be back.
