So here we sit in a handsome lounge at the Mark Hopkins, avoiding drinking far too much of the wine left out for us, avoiding snacking on too many of the good food also available. Sometimes the extra perks of booking a club floor room can be worth it. On the other hand, it's the last special dinner for Conrad tonight, so we're trying to behave.
Before our 8:30 reservation at Rue LePic, some overdue photos from Conrad's birthday party.
A late Friday night dinner for about 28 of us (Conrad's treat!) was his choice of celebration. And it HAD to be at Yoshi's, Conrad's home away from home. Glad we were, too - Yoshi and his crew provided us with a secluded area of the restaurant, good service, and excellent food. Guests were treated to some nibblies while they had cocktails. From there they moved on to an appetizer sampler (I'm embarrassed not to have the menu in front of me, but I really liked the simplicity of the aspargus wrapped in bacon!). A choice of beef tenderloin with a fantastic smoked red wine sauce or fish with a guajillo chile sauce and swiss chard was the main course. I opted for fish since I LOVE my greens! A cake came out for dessert, and by this point I think we were all a bit loopy. The night ended with a small cluster of us toasting Michael's birthday (right after midnight), anniversaries (me and Conrad, FXK and Kim), Rachel's new job, and anything else we could think of.
Photos, then....
