Out to dinner night. No pictures -- I guess I just need to get over the weird feeling of taking pictures of my food in public. We went to Sol de Espana in Rockville, about a mile from our house.
The Spanish restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside -- it is part of a strip mall -- but inside, it looks like a fine dining restaurant on the inside. The prices are very reasonable and the portions good sized without being too much. For an appetizer, we had a pork tenderloin, potato, and cheese dish. It was okay, but needed a bit of salt. For my entree, I had the baked chicken with garlic and potatoes in a sherry sauce. The chicken was excellent -- very good flavor -- but was all dark meat. (I'm not a huge fan of dark meat). I had a difficult time with the potatoes because the garlic was sliced and ended up mixed in with the potatoes. Since I didn't want to bite into a slice of garlic, I tried to separate as best I could, but the smashed potatoes and garlic slices looked remarkably similar. Michael had some sort of seafood dish -- I can't remember exactly what it was and it isn't listed on the menu online. He seemed to enjoy it (and he also finished my chicken dish).
We had a bottle of Spanish white wine with dinner, which was remarkably good. Crisp and clean tasting. For dessert, we had a chocolate cake. Very tasty. The service overall was friendly, although a little slow at times. We did enjoy the leisurely dinner. Especially since we knew getting home would take us all of five minutes.
