we only had one chance for dinner in seattle, and it also happened to be james's birthday.
my family has always like going to steakhouses for a nicer dinner or special occasion. there are several we usually frequent, but we were looking to try something new and reserved a table at alexander's steakhouse
as a treat to myself, i booked dinner for us at Q sushi in downtown LA. it's omakase only, and a set price of $165 per person. it's unique as one of the very, very few places outside of japan serving edo-style sushi.
wanting to try something a little different for valentine's day this year, we bought tickets for roomforty's annual valentine's day winemaker dinner.
we arrived at the cosmopolitan and got checked in around 9pm. we were tired, and hungry, and luckily, we found china poblano right inside the hotel! it's famous spanish chef jose andres interpretation of mexican and chinese food.
months ago, we reserved tickets to the new broad museum. coincidentally, it ended up being the opening weekend of neighboring (and much anticipated) restaurant, otium. the space is beautiful, and the food was excellent.
we recently did a family dinner at the royce, located inside pasadena's langham hotel. the food was delicious, and the space was weirdly modern, but still beautiful.
there has been much fanfare about republique since it opened. but it's on la brea. i really don't like driving to la brea.
