Slog - Comments on Where the Senator Eats http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/where_the_senator_eats I took myself out to dinner at Tavolata last night. I had the (gigantic) serving of garden greens and the agnolotti with brown butter and sage; it was all very salty. I was disappointed, though this might largely be due to the fact that I went specifically craving the agnolotti filled with veal brains, but it was not on the menu. Sigh. (Why can't the veal brains be on the menu all the time?) I had to try and find satisfaction with a ricotta and leek filling. I was doomed from the beginning. More exciting, I spotted Senator Maria Cantwell...

Good food, great service (Erik the cute bartender - i'm hoping he plays on my gay team), friends walking by and stopping in for a drink or three with us. The combination of all this on a warm Seattle summer night was heaven.
