We stopped by La Salón Berlín, (several weeks ago, by the time you read this), for the first time in about six weeks. Throughout the evening all of the “wait help” stopped by our table to say “hi”- even the chef, and sous chef, and both sets of musicians came over. They missed us. We have missed them, as well.
I love that place. I believe I can hear the “Cheers” opening song, playing in the background, as we walk through the door. And, that is just the way we feel. It is a bright, open, fun place to sit, relax, tell stories, or, just catch up on each other’s lives.
When we were younger, we used to go to Governors, in Moline, IL., about every other Friday nite, and got to know quite a few of the staff there, as well. But, it was too expensive, and once we moved to Bettendorf, IA., it was too far, not to mention that we had the grandkids every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday- for twelve years.
Now, here, the alcohol is much less expensive, we are retired, and do not have to get up until we want. We still only go to Berlín about every four to six weeks, and not at all since the coronavirus came to town, but we sure have fun when we do go.
