Uncle turning 60!!!

Yesterday my girlfriends uncle had his 60th birthday, and we all (thats now me, my girlfriend, her parents and her uncle and aunt) went to eat out at Mandolins, which is a very fancy restaurant in Johannesburg somewhere at a guest house.

The whole experience was very pleasant, and my girlfriend and I are going to go there more often, as they have very nice couches where we can sit and read ;)

Anyway, the waiter read the specials and things like Veal chops, calamari pasta and the like were mentioned. The calamari dish attracted my attention and I decided to have that, but I had a starter first, thinly sliced beef with slices of cheese, and vinegar.

The rest of the peoples dishes looked exquisite as well, but I won't mention it here because, quite frankly, I don't remember the fancy names some of the dishes have. I just know that my girlfriends mother had some or other roast lamb (I had a taste, AMAZING!). Her father had fish (don't know what fish, just know that it was fish) and her uncle had a T-Bone steak, which looked very tasty. Her aunt had the Veal chops which she enjoyed thoroughly!

Fortunately, my girlfriends uncle and aunt got the bill, so unfortunately I do not know what the whole outing cost us, but I would definitely recommend anyone to go there if you want a very fancy, classy restaurant! Yeah!
