Cecile and I celebrated Valentine’s Day with our dear friends Nelson and Susie Bye, home before noon from their 16-day Hawaiian cruise and still ready for a festive night out.
We reserved early and enjoyed a cozy private booth in this classy, mellow setting that never disappoints. Nelson generously shared a Montagu Cabernet Sauvignon from his collection.
We started with fried Brussels sprouts, roasted beet salad, short rib Beef Wellingtons—then, realizing we were happily full, skipped entrées and shared two plates of ravioli.
Dessert: lemon, mango, and strawberry sorbet with crème brûlée.
A sweet Valentine’s evening all around.
