It was wonderful. Enjoyed it very much and licked the glass dry.
The four of us had different entrees. Everyone commented about how great it was. (It was everybody's first swim with the Fins).
Could not find one thing to complain about our experiences.

Being something of a martini snob, a martini is made with GIN and a bit of vermouth. I prefer Bombay (but not the extra proof Sapphire). As I say, too often, if it’s good enough for The Queen, it’s good enough for me.
I have a longtime friend who likes to order a “Grey Goose martini with no vermouth.” I’ve told him neither of those ingredients, or lack thereof, fulfills the criterion for martini ingredients. Fer cryin’ at loud, as my father would say, just order Grey Goose on the rocks with an olive. Sheesh!
