Day 6
July 26, 2018Earlier today my husband and I took a trip to the beach, Marbella, and enjoyed a couple hours in the sun. After our time in the sun we grab a taxi and head back to the hotel to get ready for a delicious dinner.
Arriving to the restaurant we see a large door with the name of the restaurant, ABaC, on the front.
We buzz in to let them know our group is here. A door opens and we enter this beautifully landscaped entrance.
We sit down at this table that’s already set up with plates and glasses. Manolo has recommended this restaurant and as I’ve said before he doesn’t disappoint. He knows great food!
Looking around we are the only ones in the room. The waiters cater to us and we look at the menu that’s been prepared for tonight.
A group of five waiters in black suits take our plates and we are told this one waiter is assigned to our table to take care of all of our needs.
He describes every plate as it comes to us and how we should enjoy it. As we finish our glasses of wine, they come around and fill you back up- your glass is never empty.
I look around I feel like I should see the Kardashian’s sitting next to me, everything is so formal and undoubtedly expensive!
I know my brother in law, chef Andrew, would’ve enjoyed this meal so this post is dedicated to him!
