Californios
Random Thursday dinner. Andrea has been wanting to come back here. I certainly enjoyed our previous 3 times we ate here, but didn’t love it as much as she did, but this time I definitely did. We did plan to come here during Dia De Los Muertos, but it turned out that way. We wanted…

Le Grand Restaurant – Jean-François Piège
Reservations were a bit difficult since so many restaurants are closed since this is the time for vacation in France, but I did make this reservation for dinner. The chef, Jean-François Piège, was head chef in Top Chef France for ten years. The cuisine was modern which we really enjoyed. The menu is a tour…
