Update: smart resto owners. They offered for 60 bucks a couple:
bottle of merlot or pinot ( we wnet for the red)

choice of menu ( minus the paella) we chose the veal picatta and the
bouillabaisse)
Italian wedding soup soup or garden salad
garlic bread
tiramisu
coffee

Not a bad deal, compared to those fixed menu offerings at some
restos..
Brought a couple of good snorts of the wine home too - as long as
there's a cork in the bottle, it's legal as a to-go.
