Quick round-up.
Pacific Coast Grill is a great place for toddlers...and it's yummy! Surprising but true: we went at 5 pm, and it was not super busy, and lots of the other tables had well-behaved toddlers too. Super Toddler was on his best behavior. He enjoyed his brioche grilled cheese and french fries, and colored happily with crayons. (Of course he kept calling out, "Man!" to the waiter because he wanted a lemonade refill, but we taught him the word "Sir").
I had a scrumptious mixed greens/cranberry/blue cheese/almond salad, followed by Izzy Balderas' awesome fish tacos (they have two kinds). I really like his food: it's not super-ambitious, but it is extremely delicious and well executed. Creative yummy cal comfort food. CH was kind of grumpy at the menu ("nothing for me", he said) but eventually he settled on some beef skewers and caesar salad, and ended up enjoying his meal in spite of himself. He says he is not dying to go back, but since it worked really well for ST and me, and was pretty darn relaxing (like taking ST out on date night) we'll see in a few months whether he is willing to go again. The prices are super-reasonable at happy hour.
Hit Alchemy last weekend for visit #3. RICARDO HEREDIA is still THE MAN! He puts out awesome awesome creative food and I love that place to death. Had a cranberry pumpkin cocktail (it was Halloween weekend) and the most awesome fish ever (loup de mer, with pumpkin, spinach, pear brunoise....the flavors were so exciting, and I had not even gotten the lardons, which I'm sure added another layer to the dish). Always love going there!! Cute Husband likes their food too - he got a salad which he enjoyed and then "some kind of meat" (ha - I don't remember since I didn't taste it, but he really liked it too).
