Spectres of the Recession

Well it certainly seemed that (for a day anyway), the Recession had gone. From when we opened our doors yesterday (Sunday) until we closed (around 11), Cava was packed to the nines. I really don't know where all the people came from (as we had a desperately quite lunch on Saturday), but come they did and boy did they eat and drink! So why did they come?

Was it for Brunch, Tapas, Dinner? Or all of the above? Maybe so. Everything so well yesterday, but the Tapas are always miles out in front of everything else (the way it should be!). The specials also sold well (Rib-eye steak with chorizo, spinach, and pan-fried potato; Scallops with warm fig, chorizo, and cherry vine tomato salad; and Organic salmon with samphire, asparagus, and brasied fennel).

I am looking forward to the new Tapas menu, as it will inculde a good few new Tapas and will certinaly freshen things up. I don't understand restuarants who never change there menu. Many are guilty of this in Galway. Maybe the great William P. Shaw can put pen to paper and inform us! Surely that is something worthy of both word and world.


I hope that it all keep goings this week, for the Rent (with a capital R) is due at the end of August and anyone who knows me will know how much that is.
