Tonight I met a friend for dinner and a meeting. We started at a meeting in the local 12-step hall. Not my favorite meeting due to a crowded room and random low levels of living in the solution (or not). Nonetheless, it counts as a meeting in my book and that is always a good thing.
Our choices were pizza in the U-district or Mona's Bistro. My friend does not do so well with dairy and so we went for the bistro. It was about 4 blocks off the freeway. After driving around the greater Greenlake area, called for directions and bee-lined over for dinner. At first, we were in the wrong beer-hall/restaurant that was next door. Once we got in the right place, things picked up.
We had a large salads and 'small plates'. My Arugula Caesar salad was delicious. Gigi had the warm spinach salad. She had the shrimp tacos and I had the bbq steak tartare sliders. The sliders were small burgers done medium rare with a killer delicious sauce, cheese tomato and onions. 3 of the best (mini) burgers I have ever had the pleasure of dining on. After that, we had warm brownies with vanilla ice cream. There were huge portions of warm delicious brownies topped with a nice vanilla ice cream.
The waitress was awesome answering all our questions with a patient, kind and pleasant demeanor (we had a lot of questions).
A great evening with a wonderful friend at a fantastic bistro with delicious food and great service. I am grateful that Gigi has been my friend for a decade, and that she called me out to dinner and a meeting tonight.
