The restaurant charted a course.
“for upper-deck dining and white- :
: napkin service. : ;
For a while the passengers and”
crew had a good time.
But last year the restaurant hit
the doldruins. Big-ticket dining
and heavy meals were on the
- menus of fewer and fewer diners.
And Captain lacus didn’t like the
view from the bridge. His dining ‘
room was lifeless and the ground-
floor bistro was dying...
The atmosphere was quiet and
cold, which is:not the captain’s
: preferred temperature. .- .

“couiver’s Fresgo Inn, was used to |
“high-temperature hustle and bustle
and a glace with an atmosphere

with Suc-Dried Tomatoes or
Chorizo Sausage and Tomatoes,
both $4.95) and ale before taking
in a movie, still others signing on
for a full banquet of salad, pasta
“and something from La Grigliata.

The restaurant services al]
aforementioned dining styles with
efficiency and consistency.

The food served is simple, but
carefully made in the restaurant's
open and animated kitchen and

available by the glass. Prices range
from $3.95 per glass to $18.95 per
bottle and selection includes bot-
tles from Italy, Australia, California
and B.C.

A few special vintages are also
available (1988 Brolio Chianti,
$28).

Accompany a robust chianti
with some delicious Chorizo

Sausage and Tomato Focacce,

perhaps a side of Aglio E Olio
Pollo fettuccine and an Insalata di
Caesar and soak up the occa-
sionally overwhelming hubbub of
lacus’ youthful new clientele and
the Fresgo feel will fill your soul.

Scallini works because it repre-

sents the real lacus.

‘It is one storey less, but many
degrees warmer than its
predecessor.
