Date #55
I don’t like it when Chuck brings out his iPhone and plugs in the address for date night, because it’s the iPhone map…ugg. True to form with this stupid app it doesn’t work very well and takes us around the block many times during rush hour traffic. Finally, we sit in a parking lot where the app says the restaurant is, but is not, and look for it the old-fashioned way, by actually looking at the address on the map. After much stress we find the restaurant and find a place to park on the street.
The place is nice, not very fancy, with quite a few tables full. I wasn’t too excited to try Ethiopian food but it is date night and I can’t say no, Queen of Sheba is the place. So we ordered 2 vegetarian dishes, and a lamb dish for Chuck. The server said it’s served family style, and that was ok with us.
The enormous plate came to the table with 4 folded over pancake looking breads with the 3 different dishes we had ordered and a salad atop the pancakes. There were no utensils, we needed to use the pancake to pick up our food. The pancake tasted like fermented bread, not my favorite flavor. The potato dish tasted good, but the mushroom dish was way too spicy to even taste. Chuck enjoyed his lamb dish, and ate most of mine.
I’m sure this restaurant is a favorite place for many, and the serve was great, but this is not a favorite place for us. Chuck had tried Ethiopian food before and enjoyed it, but my first try will probably be my last.
