這是在旅遊展買的餐券, 嚴格說, 除了服務好, 菜的改進空間很大.

今天吃的是精選晚餐.



Table setting 感覺不錯, 上次來吃時, 被它的價錢嚇的落荒而逃.


精選麵包籃附法式傳統豬肉醬, 麵包不論是雜糧麵包或是法國麵包都是一流的, 豬肉醬是第一次吃到, 沒覺得特別, 還是butter好.


油封鮪魚尼斯沙拉, 不知道為什麼常吃到尼斯沙拉, 到尼斯時也沒覺得特別的沙拉.  是有點鹹.


蘿勒番茄濃湯, 老媽說御書園的南瓜湯比較好!  我還是懷念法樂琪的湯.


碳烤菲力牛排附普羅旺斯時蔬, 牛肉還不錯, 但是以法國菜為號召, 確完全沒有發揮法國菜的精華.  扣些分!


松露奶油鮮蔬季節鮮魚, 老媽的魚, 很不幸-沒熟, 服務人員很有訓練的換了餐具, 重作了一盤.  很多餐廳會幫你弄熟, 餐具不換, 這一點可以加些分.


季節甜點盤, 沒有驚豔!

咖啡或茶, 咖啡還不錯, 但是續杯時忘了給我熱牛奶.

以後上來台北都要住旅館了, 於是跟老媽說到這家旅館的價錢.  突然連想到一個故事.

My wife and I are traveling by car from Victoria to Prince George . Being Seniors, after almost eleven hours on the road, we were too tired to continue, and decided to take a room. But, we only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When we checked out four hours later, the desk clerk handed us a bill for $350.00.

I explode and demanded to know why the charge is so high. I told the clerk although it's a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth $350.00 for four hours.  Then the clerk tells me that $350.00 is the 'standard rate'. I insisted on speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appears, listens to me, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for us to use. 'But we didn't use them," I said. ''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager.

He went on to explain that we could also have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. "We have the best entertainers from New York , Hollywood , and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says.

"But we didn't go to any of those shows," I said. "Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.

No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, I  replied,"But we didn't use it!"

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually I gave up and agreed to pay. 

I  wrote a check and gave it to the Manager. 

The Manager is surprised when he looks at the cheque. "But sir, this cheque is only made out for $50.00." ''That's correct. I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with my wife," I replied.

"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.

I said, "Well, too bad,  she was here, and you could have."
