peppering

Oh, you Rotunda! Where, oh where, did the Vegetable Tower go? The trusty, dare I say, lusty stack of grilled portobello mushrooms, eggplant, roasted red peppers and other assorted veggies that used to be piled stupidly high and held together inexplicably by a giant spear of rosemary, has gone missing.

Fortunately, the rest of the menu holds up as expected. Who ever heard of a Lobster BLT? And the palate-teasing miniscule croissant with a teeny cup of chicken broth remain, followed by a hot popover the size of your head served with ready-to-melt butter and raspberry butter.

Makes you feel damn near like being on a yacht.
