It was advertized as: 


Garlic Pita Bread v

Experience the unforgettable combination of toasted village pita bread filled with creamy garlic and herb butter 14.9

 

It sure was - and when it arrived it was still almost to hot to touch!  I did wonder how they got the garlic butter inside and it dawned on me right at the end that the Pita bread had in fact been cut through the middle!! 

Lots of flavor with  good herbal sprinkle.

The wire basket was a nice touch - less so the napkin underneath!
 

It is a Pita bread . . . . .

GARLIC BREAD $11
house made bread

 

 We actually rung thinking that we may have to reserve a table! Turns out - just as well - as they are NOT normally open to the public for meals on a Sunday - but being the steampunk festival weekend - they decided there might be enough buisness to be open! 

Alas - I think we were the only street walk-ins for a meal!!  And promptly got treated like royals!!  

The Garlic Bread arrived hot.  

Crusty on the outside and soft fleshy on the middle - just as we like it and is supposed to be! 

So much flavor and a very liberal helping on the herbs! 

The platter and no napkin were the final nice touch!

Overall a very very rare full 20 marks!!
