After skipping dinner every evening, we made an (unneeded) reservation at the hotel restaurant overlooking the beach, La Brisa. It is an elegant spot consisting of about 10 tables on the paver stones, up against the low wall 20 feet or so above the beach.
We were the only early (6:30 p.m.) diners and the service was expert and solicitous. Both meals (red snapper for Bob, shrimp and scallops for me) were so beautifully presented that I should have taken a picture. The cabernet sauvignon was lovely and there was no critical look on the waiter's face when I selected red over white wine.
The sun began its descent soon after we arrived and, while the view was not so spectacular from that location, it was beautiful nonetheless. The stars soon filled the sky and we both independently remembered a similar magical evening in Quebec City, on a frigid winter evening at the Chateau Bonne Entente in early 1982. It was a perfect end to a wonderful day.
