The menu listed this as: 

Garlic Ciabatta (V) $11 

Toasted garlic ciabatta with garlic herb butter

 

 It came out in good time and was still hot to the touch - although I think the arrangement may have suffered during delivery.  Further - seems that everyone these days is using Ciabatta bread as first choice to use! Not sure why that is . . .

Upon closer inspection you could actually see the little garlic bits - having been roasted - on the top!! Sadly - a tiny wee dash of green herbs was absent!  

There were three of us and I wonder if the quantity had been adjusted for that - even with three - there ended up one piece left behind! We should go back as a couple and see if there is less on offer for two!

Certainly plenty of flavor and seemingly genuine butter - although that would go counter to the V - (meaning Vegetarian) listed on the menu. Maybe Margarine or Olive oil was used???  Crispy skin and fleshy soft on the inside - almost perfect! Notable too is the absence of a wooden platter or the usual napkin underneath.
