Arabesque
Last night we road-tested Jacob's new babysitter, Samantha. Self-sacrificing souls that we are we took ourselves off to Arabesque for the evening. Local enough for us to get home quickly if Samantha had any problems but promising enough for us to feel we'd had a night out. The food was delicious and Samantha wasn't driven to call us once all evening so we've declared the event a success and have booked her for the following week! My only quibble about Arabesque is it lacked a bit of atmosphere, the origins of the space as general shopfront/office space being still too obvious.
Coincidentally, I was at the dentist earlier in the day when the owner of Arabesque, Geoff Malouf, appeared for his appointment after mine. I don't know what the dentist did to him but he bore it well, hosting with grace well into the evening.
