Elegant Ladies lunch at Agatha.

Time to head across the street to the bus. Yesterday we were on our way to the Agatha restaurant at the south end of Gaviotis in the Golden Zone. 
Across the dirt meridian to the bus.  Lots of digging to put in new lighting.
Off the bus and heading to the restaurant.
Pam and Helene and don't they look lovely in their dresses!  
Coming up to Agatha.  This is a very classy, upscale restaurant.  We have eaten here before and never been disappointed. 
We decided to have our lunch on the outdoor patio.  A bit noisier than inside but nice and breezy.
Linda, Jeannette and Marilyn perusing the menu.
This is part of the very extensive menu.  Interesting appetizers, seafood, sushi and much more. 
I decided to have a Limonjito which has lime and mint in it.  I would have had a mojito but it wasn't offered. 
Today we were two tables of five and this is Pam, Helene, Diane, Ruth and Bev.
No chips and salsa here.  Three different kinds of in house baked bread with a spice olive, garlic, olive oil tapenade.  Very delicious.  The chef or maitre d came out to explain the ingredients.  Everyone here is dressed professionally and perfectly trained.  None of that matters if the food isn't good but it is here!
Crab cakes were a hit today and Ruth and I shared an order.  Sitting on a salad with a very spicy sauce underneath.  Delicious. 
Jeannette and Marilyn with crab cakes and they ordered sides of fries or baked potatoes. 
Linda had crab cakes and yam fries.
Helene had a tasty risotto.
Bev joined us today and she had a burger.  So large that she cut it in half and took some home. 
Diane had the seared Ahi tuna with couscous and yogurt....yum, yum, yum.  I usually order the tuna but this day decided to try something different.  I may have to come back this winter and have the tuna!
Connie popped in after her game of cards to say hi.  She doesn't join us as she plays cards at Friends on Wednesdays but today she finished up early.
This is the second part of Ruth and I's shared lunch. A delicious sushi roll with tuna, salmon, cream cheese and avocado and this is my half.   I mucked up and ordered crab cakes when I was supposed to order the sushi roll but Ruth straightened it out.  It was also delicious! 
Price wise this is an not what I would call expensive except for the drinks.  A glass of wine is 150 pesos and mixed drinks about the same.  Since the meals are more important than the drinks, especially at lunch it is not a problem.  My lunch including my non alcoholic drink (90 pesos) 1/2 order of crab cakes, 1/2 order of sushi and a small extra shrimp sushi came to 320 pesos and about $24 Canadian with a 20 percent tip.  Very reasonable for excellent food and service.  Oh, by the way the ladies said Agatha also has the most beautiful and clean washroom they have ever seen!!

Next week Veintiocho in the Golden Zone.
