Martini's Restaurant - Broadway
Martini's was the place we would go for our post-game meals, whether it was hockey, football or softball. Their phone number was on my speed dial on my first cell phone. That old phone is lying around somewhere, discarded to the confines of history. An eventual museum piece.
Mike, the waiter who's no longer there, always had a table ready for us. We were the steak sandwich and coffee guys. That's what we always had, even at 1am in the morning. That's all we would order, even though pizza might have been their specialty.
Went back there last night after our change of rinks. It felt like going home. Although the decor has changed some, it still felt homey. There was a good vibe, a familiar ambience.
We had plenty of good times and good food here before. This time, it was no exception. Had the steak sandwich ($9.45), but ordered Keith's Indian Pale ale ($4.35) instead of my usual coffee.
I felt satisfied even though the price may have increased, the music too loud, the print on the menu too small, I wasn't going to complain.
