the vinegar is balsamic - they put white butcher paper on top of the table cloth - the bread is put on the paper - you pour oil & vinegar onto the bread plate and sop up the mixture they have a ceasar salad that's big enough for 2 (they'll split it for you - the leaves are left whole so it looks different when its served we had their sausage & peppers - average portion - very good
  and calamari, abalone style, served with a slightly tangy mayo based
  sauce - big portions of this - very good too
