Ah yes - a 27th wedding anniversary.  Last year we missed out on celebrating as we were still in panic mode when the mag 6.3 earthquake shook up our City and - well - laid waste to pretty much of the inner city.  This year we decided to treat ourselves and went a bit more upmarket.  One certainly saw plenty of plate and not so much of the food - however it all tasted very good.  you will spot the side plate and knife on the table, obviously we were meant to use this.  Suffice to say I am used to eat my garlic bread with fingers, so I am sure looked out of place.
The garlic bread came in good time, and was nicely presented.  Nice touch - on the side there was a small bowl of garlic yoghurt and a good sprinkling of herbs. Nice and crisp bread.  However the garlic butter had been spread only on the top and then it was oven roasted thus leaving a distinct lack of "butter flavor" in half of the bread.   In terms of quantity there was enough for two people, and it filled you up nicely without leaving you feeling full before your main meal arrives.
