Savoring the Salmon House

From page 16

($8.95) from the special list. Came
with Avgolemeno, the classic
Greek consomme with rice and
egg, spiked with fresh lemon, and
Greek salad. Big plate with big
skewer of grilled salmon. Fresh
prawn on the side. Lots of Greek
salad and hearty chunks of pita.
Good value.

Service: No waiting. Friendly and
ast.

Price: About $5 to $10.

Guest du jour: Chamber bigwig.
How’s business? Suffocated by
government, you say, strangled in
ted tape. All those in agreement,
Say aye.

Need we say more? Yes, ard up the
volume several decibels.
Sundeck: Small deck in rear over-
looking Lonsdale Quay Market
bustle. °

Parking: Lower Lonsdale street-
side scramble. Almost non-existent
during lunch hour. Where are those
government chaps when you need
them? Issuing parking tickets, of
course.

- Save up fo

upscale but not overly rich or pre-
tentious. Some whimsical combina-
tions and inventive plates from chef
Sonny Mendoza. Appetizers and
lighter dishes include Grilled

Goose Breast, Charred Rare Ahi
Tuna, Hand-peeled Shrimp Salad
and a pair of ambitious pizzas.
Entrees offer such choices as Veal
Osso Bucco, Grilied Lamb Chops,

pasta.

Food: Overall — expertly prepared
and artistically presented. Preceded
a Louisiana Catfish Burger
($10.95) with an invigorating
Cioppino ($4.95). Good soup ona
grey winter day. Burger topped
with lively jalapeno pepper relish.
Spicy banana pepper on the side.
Dressed in fresh veg: carrots, broc-
coli and red pepper in red cabbage

really make it as a burger substi-
