Lamb Meatball

Lamb Meatball with Spicy Tomato Chutney

We were handed this while waiting for our seared sea scallop. Nick repeatedly told the attendant that it would get cold (or at least not be at it’s best temperature) because we were waiting and waiting and waiting for the scallop. Attendant couldn’t have cared
