Expensive yet...

After the gym, I was ready to cook; but iron-wife wanted to go eat on the way home; and this new restaurant happened to be just across the street behind our gym. As soon as I saw the entrance, I said to myself silently "O sh!t". The price of the starter was a meal for two at our vegetarian restaurant with 2 dishes. And the main course was at least two meals at the vegetarian restaurant for two with 3 dishes. Tonight's total came to RMB580.00. Two starters, two entrees and one glass of red wine.

I have to say though, the food quality was exceptionally good. Worth the $ for the ambient and the food. Not too big a portion but enough. My lamb... wow... And iron-wife's risotto, manifique (with truffle oil). Too bad it wasn't for a romantic or a special event; we were there kinda under dressed, post gym workout stuff and causal wear. I was carrying three bags, two gym bags and iron-wife's roller bag.

The place has a weekend lunch with all you can eat food but retail price for wine for RMB248. Not sure what that means but it was the exact quote from the restaurant printout.
