If it is Thursday We Must Be ...


********************************************************************


It has been 13 Thursdays since the Cafe Vico offered
their 2-4-1 summer specials and we have gone for lunch all thirteen
Thursdays before Allen took me around on my errands. We are talking 26
superb meals without a bad one and having a difficult time deciding
which was the best. I thought it was the lasagna until today when I had
their special special of Flounder Florentine Francois--OMG!

Whether
the main dish is made of pork, veal, chicken, shellfish, beef or a
variation on pasta you won't go wrong. Along with great food there is
excellent service from the servers and busboy with all hands helping
everyone else. Along with the staff Mr. and Mrs. Marco Vico are hands on
owners whether it be serving coffee, cleaning and/or resetting tables
with the combination of yellow and white tablecloths along with blue
water glasses and heavy silver. Within minutes your drink order is taken
and served with hot rolls and a great very garlicky dip.

The
good news--there is no bad news--they are going to continue their 2-4-1
lunch specials Monday through Thursday until October 31 so you know
where we will be! After having 26 different dishes it many be time to
hit their paninis and salads but even they look great from what we have
seen.

Their
choice of a dozen desserts are as good as their main courses and their
carrot cake is a stand out especially how it is presented.

Aside
from 3 dining rooms they have an outdoor dining patio and are now
expanding by opening another store attached to the main dining room into a
piano bar.

Meanwhile I will continue taking pictures and posting what we ate on Thursdays!

Tell me about that garlic dip - creamy? thick? The picture looks like maybe vegetables including chopped garlic in olive oil.
