Lunch at Filini

Filini is the restaurant in this gaff. Classy looking place and good reviews. The hotel and tower are impressive to me.
Nice looking restaurant but empty.

Kim wanted the duck sossies but was out of luck and opted for the canneloni, me inevitably the calves liver.
The food was very good and the service slow - as ever with a near empty gaff 100 seater place 6 covers dining. Food was worth it, service definitely not.
Still we had a good time even if we did get soaked walking back.
Just in case anyone from the social is reading Kim paid not me.
