The wines were good just not great and I was a little disapointed in
the Flowers. I'm going to a new French bistro on the Island tonight
so I'm not expecting much of a wine list and my wines haven't arrived
yet from Ohio. We're headed to a meeting at The Breakers next week
and dining at L'Escalier so we're looking forward to that little
excursion especially since it's a consulting gig for me and room, etc
is being picked up by the client since they decided to meet at the
freaking Breakers.
