Enclos
Andrea and I were supposed to go to dinner here again, but she’s been super busy with work, so she couldn’t go, but I still wanted to go and didn’t want to cancel the reservation. So I asked our neighbor Stanford to go since he seemed interested in going out to try some other restaurants

Pavyllon London
Trisha had been wanting to try this place for late breakfast and we were game. I made a reservation at the counter (we always like to see the cooking action) and seats at the corner so the 3 of us could all speak to each other more easily. It was nice that they had perfectly
