Toots and the Maytals - Commodore Ballroom- July 2, 2011

What a fantastic concert! Thanks Stephanie for suggesting I buy a ticket for this show! I love reggae music but this group was unfamiliar to me. The concert was on a Tuesday evening so Stephanie suggested we go to Sanafir for dinner since it's 50% off appies on Tuesdays.

I can't believe it's taken me so long to try out this place! They have such a unique menu. It was hard to choose what to order because everything looked great.

This watermelon salad , ordered by Steph, tasted fantastic. It had never crossed my mind to put watermelon in a savoury salad but I'm going to definitely try it out too (with you, Farrah, when I come visit! Can't wait to see the sous-chef again!).





Steph also ordered some yummy salmon.



This was my favourite dish: the duck carpaccio



This one was pretty good too, though I didn't like the pita.




The opening act was a local reggae band whose name escapes me. They were okay. Then Toots' daughter performed. She is so beautiful and very talented! Black don't crack indeed!







The whole show was amazing! I had only learned a few of his songs but I recognize talent and I appreciate his graciousness and the way he tried to interact with the audience, even shaking my hand and giving me a bottle of water! What a sweet man.
