Last Wednesday, I met my friend FH for a drink after work. We decided to meet at Pastis, a French restaurant on Beverly Blvd that appealed to our Francophile souls. Since we weren't certain that we would be staying for dinner, we decided to sit at the bar. I've found it always pays to get to know your bartender(s), and we weren't disappointed. We had an excellent first drink, thanks to the generosity of the Gallic soul, complimented by appetizers (sauteed soft shell crab for FH and seared peppered Ahi tuna for me) while we caught up on all that had happened in the months since we had last seen each other.
We decided against moving onto dinner, and instead shared a dessert (confit lemon tart with raspberry coulis). One of the bartenders/servers recommended a glass of white wine for FH to try, and a Bordeaux for me. Soon the dessert was polished off, followed thereafter by the wine, and we began to think about leaving. It was the kind of evening that reminds me why I love LA and my friends here, and thus makes me less likely to sigh about how much I miss traveling. There is so much to explore right here at home!
Plus, Wednesday nights at Pastis are "buy one bottle, take home one free," something I'll be sure to take advantage of next time...
