Eating Well

I like how understated DOMVS is. It was an oasis of calm. I didn't feel like I had walked into a warzone. The menu had changed. But still good. So I wanted comfort food. That meant a hearty pumpkin risotto. I knew the chef was on leave, but I still took a gamble that the kitchen would be well taken care of. It was. The pumpkin risotto was done well. I wouldn't say it was done perfectly, but it hit a spot and made everything alright again.

That made it a very good reason to order a bottle of Dom Pérignon Vintage 1998 to go with the meal. And when the mains were done, we didn't want dessert. But you see, a good restaurant which has pride in its food and service would be able to put diners in a mellow mood and keep them returning. Therefore, in lieu of dessert, we had another bottle of Dom Pérignon of the same year.

We were the last to leave the restaurant. We definitely delayed the floor staff's knock-off time, so on top of the service charge in our bill, it was only right for us to leave a big tip by way of thanks. The dinner at DOMVS contributed to all positive beginnings in 2010.
