Dalmatino's
Once a month, D and I have "date night". The point of it is to try to do something that we wouldn't normally do, not to pretend we are on a date! That's a bit of a stretch. ;-)
Last night, we tried a local restaurant near home called Dalmatino. Apparently, the two owner brothers are from Dalmatia, a coastal part of Croatia, and well, Wednesday nights they have a "Croatian dinner with live music".
Croatian food, for those who haven't experienced it, is kinda of Polish meets Mediterranean. As we are still in winter (technically for another few days anyway), the 3-course set menu ($38) was a little, well, heavy. That said, the cabbage rolls were excellent, and brought back memories of growing up in a cold, snowy Edmonton! Of course, walking out into a balmy, spring evening quickly reminded Dorothy she wasn't in Kansas!
Here's hoping that they lighten up their menu for the upcoming warm weather . . .
