Happy Birthday + 1, Amy!!

We were so busy celebrating her birthday yesterday that I didn't have time to post this until today!

Birthday on the Hill

Yesterday was Amy's birthday. At her request, we had dinner out at Yamashiro. Yamashiro is a gorgeous restaurant up in the Hollywood Hills (the ones Bob Seger sings about), just above the Magic Castle and overlooking Tinseltown. It was built near the turn of the last century, and is modeled after a castle in Kyoto. Although Yamashiro predates the glory days of the area, it is inherently and iconically Hollywood.

Valentine's Day plus three

Amy and I spent a delightful Valentine's Day Evening at French 75 Bistro, a new restaurant in the Century City Shopping Center. The only negative note was our initial bill, apparently compiled by someone who didn't know what "prix fixe " meant, which charged us extra for the chocolate souffle we shared for dessert. Fortunately, when we pointed out the mistake to the waitress, she adjusted the bill.
