TAPAS FUSION - TUCSON, AZ

Underneath the restaurant name is "world food & bar". World food is almost as meaningless to me as the word eatery, fusion or ristorante.

this place has been opened for 3 months. when we went in at 6pm, it was empty but 2 large groups were eating by the time we left.

their menu is fairly limited with a lot of fish tapas and tapitos and the prices are quite high. However, the food was good and the service was friendly. We ate here with Jean and Tim and all shared the 5 tapas which included shrimp in wine sauce, a sampler plate of olives, hummus, crostini, a cucumber and tomato salad (think small; think tiny; the spoons that accompanied these dishes were baby midget implements); roasted red pepper stuffed with cheese, a beef and scallop skewer with roasted potatoes and a chicken-walnut aoili on toast.

Like i said, all the food was prepared really well and the tastes were varied and satisfying but I have decided i don't like this kind of dining. I guess I'm territorial and possessive of what i eat and i didn't like the stress and tension building up in me as we (Jean and I) eyed each plate that was delivered and mentally did a division of the spoils. This was especially nerve wracking when there was an uneven number of items; either 3 or 5.

I decided that i like my own food delivered on my own normal sized plate with only me being responsible for what is on it.
