No friendly dude ineptitude at Azafran. There's no bar, and not all tables bring wine. Daters at tables for two include a gray-headed guy or two besides me. So you won't be alone even if you were born way back, even before Gene McCarthy ran for president. You start with good bread and roasted garlic cloves in very good olive oil.
Appetizers are often half entree prices, but the biggest and best can be shared by two.
Just plain good cooking. We finished it in minutes. Great taste in the scallops, but there were only six, and the sauce tasted like cornstarch and Hollandaise. This is one of the best-cooked papillote dishes I've ever had. Desserts include a South American-style flan, cut from a big pan of the stuff, not so pretty as Spain's flan, but extremely good.
