Last year I ate at a lovely, upscale Santa Monica restaurant. A sumptuous setting along with an interesting international menu made for a dining treat. Quite expensive though so I hadn't returned. Last week I did so; drawn back by the memory of their ultra thin and tasty pizza. Please note that the pizzas cost between $9.00 and $18.00 dollars. We split a pizza along with a pear, endive, walnut and Gorgonzola salad for $12.00 In light of these relative bargains, I splurged on an $18.00 glass of Sequoia Grove Cabernet. Yes!
Did I detect a slight acquiescence in the waiters demeanor? Even thought we weren't going for the pricey entrees? Yes, I did. He was quite attentive and sweet. Previously the service had been aloof. My point, my loves, is that this may be one way the current economic slump can feel good. Restaurants these days are glad for our patronage, no matter how penurious we may seem.
