Last week, a few swell things happened that called for celebration. I won’t go into the details just yet, but what I will say is that they were exciting enough to warrant a fancy dinner out. I’ve been wanting to eat at Nick’s on Main in Los Gatos for forever, and even though it’s not Gary Danko’s by any means, it was a place I’d been saving to visit until an occasion such as this. I’d heard that they are always booked, so when I called last Thursday night about possibly squeezing in that same evening, I wasn’t expecting much. But Nick, the man himself, picked up and said they had a reservation for 8 p.m.! I swiped on some lipstick and Alan put on a nice shirt and away we went.
For my entree, I had the grilled rib eye with dungeness crab butter, roasted truffle potatoes, sauteed asparagus, and a red wine demi glace. It was amazing.
Alan had the pan roasted veal rib chop with creamy polenta, french beans, and a cluster of wild mushrooms. His polenta was out of this world! Lucky for me, Alan’s not the hugest polenta fan, so I got to dig right in.
big smiles all around for whatever you are celebrating!! i'm so proud of you sob! …and not just because you ordered something that looks like fancy surf and turf!
It's always nice to have something to celebrate! Looks like a delicious dinner. 🙂
