VIP dinner at FRAICHE
 |
Posted by Tokidoki Tina, on August 31st, 2007, views: 1823 |
This is my 1st BLOG ever so i'm soooooo EXCITED to share this w/ everyone! So here's the set-up: After reading a food review in Los Angeles magazine, i was craving some french/italian foodfare. As luck would have it, Jenn happens to be related to one of the restaurant managers so a few calls were made, and voila! off we went to Culver City...
Upon arrival, i was impressed w/ the joyous atmosphere! Soft spotlights, terra cotta colors, stone walls, and wood-beamed ceilings. It evokes a comfy feeling too due to the sunken lounge, plush couches near the bar, & white-linen tables. Very Euro-rustic (if that's a word) and Modern!
me and booboo
chuck and jenn
Then the barman, Albert hooked us up w/ a Fireshow!! well, it was a fresh strawberries marinated in botanical herbs and vodka then lit on fire...called Prosecco Fruit-Flambe!
a toast to the good life... and a very tasty one i must say!
as the alcohol was flowing, and the restaurant filled up...my voice grew louder and i got StAr-StRuCk when jenn pointed out Billy Crystal sitting at the table next to us! hehehhe...
that would be him standing under the chalkboard ...
after i got my fill of eavesdropping on their conversation (they were there to celebrate a friend's bday)we ordered our food! the hardest part...what to choose, what to choose!
the fellas stared w/ Oysters on a 1/2 shell...
i had the Risotto - morel mushrooms applewood smoked bacon, flava beans.... the photo doesn't do it justice!
sooooo delicious!
joe and jenn wisely selected the Monkfish Francaise - spinach, white wine, shallots entree
and chuck choose Steak Frites - seared flat iron steak w/ hand cut fries, compound butter!
....jenn's sister and wife of restaurant manager joined us...despite being in agonizing discomfort
of being 8 mos. preggo!!
we had such a great time!! the only way to top this night off is w/ DESSERT and a belated bday celebration for Booboo!!
i failed to take photos of our array of tasty desserts....but consisted of Almond Praline chantilly cream, sugar toasted topping called Paris-Brest ...it's the BEST, above the rest!!
Much Gratitude to the excellent service, enjoyable company, and comp'd dinner! damn, that's how we roll! =)
