I'm giving this a RAVE with an asterisk - a bit like Barry Bonds' big hit record. His asterisk was to denote that his record was steroid-assisted. Locavore's RAVE has an asterisk to record that it was despite some shortcomings.
First, our request for an ice bucket must've thrown the otherwise very good waitress, who seemed flustered by the strange request for something to keep our Alborino icy cold.
Second, for most of the meal, my enjoyment was interrupted by the far too regular whiff of disinfectant, which turned out to be coming from a bucket of er, disinfectant the staff had conveniently placed for their use between our table and the cash register.
Apart from those two things, the rest of the the dinner was very good.
You wouldn't have guessed it from our choices - Pavey's nut 'n cheese appetizer, and the halibut, my duck pate and the burger - that Locavore is a Spanish restaurant, but it was.
A hearty meal on a cold night. What more can a man want?
