Tonight was the last of the summerlicious outings: Bruyea Brothers. None of us had been, but it came highly recommended.
It finished just as strongly as Square and Lobby had set the pace. It turns out that I like venison a lot (my brother might be right when he says, “the cuter the animal, the better it tastes”), and the creme brulee — despite having it for the second time in a week — was a great way to finish it all off. Even the starter — a pedestrian-looking salad — was excellent. Very tasty.
I think I liked all of these places because the style is similar…high quality food & service, but laid back and unpretentious.
Oh, and before the restaurant, I met some colleagues from a former life for drinks. Six of us, who’d worked in the Professional Services department at Delano (a tech bubble victim). Some I see fairly often, some I hadn’t seen in years. It’s too bad I could only stay for an hour; it was funny to catch up and swap stories.
