I’ve been avoiding restaurants lately, but for Ezi’s birthday I decided to have his absolutely favorite people in a classy private room at Claro.  And for food and service and atmosphere it was perfect.  The guy in charge of our room was Elad, and he was perfect.  What with all that has been going on in our lives neither of us have any organizing energy left, so it was a blessing that Elad made it simple for us.  Even the powerpoint I prepared went smoothly.  

But the food, the food was magnificent.  Even the salads, which usually bore or repel me, were extraordinarily appetizing.  But the whole fish prepared in salt, was amazing.  The squares of entrecote and the pasta, assured that everyone would be satisfied with the main course. And the desserts that began with a mille-feuille that was so surprising I ignored the fact that the others had gobbled the chocolate mousse down before I got my spoon ready.  

I’ve been to Claro before.  Always loved it even though it was sometimes slow.  But this private room business was perfect.
