End of summer calls for cocktails

We went for some cocktails the other day after a long meeting on our day off. It was empty at Marco Polo at 5pm. Well not really empty. There was a big table of people having a meeting so we sat off in the corner in the window.

We ordered cocktails before dinner as usual. Then Demi the waiter brought us over  a "Spiked" ice which is one of your old fashioned ices spiked with liquor. This one had Campari and vodka. It was pretty damn good.

We just had appetizers. Some hot stuff like mushrooms and eggplant. And of course the mozzarella special. Just right.
