Gentle Friends, Rico was down in the Valley over the weekend visiting his family so the Who Hounds and I were on our own. I did my usual laundry, vacuuming and reagular house cleaning kind of stuff... but I also wanted to do something fun which meant hooking up with some friends and headed to a great seafood restaurant for dinner -
..."Catch" is a really nice upscale restaurant in the Castro and it was the first time I'd ever been here...
... we sat down and of course ordered some cocktails... I had a Catch Sour - bourbon, lime juice, agave nectar with a red wine float.... delicious!! You can see behind my drink my friends cocktail a Cucumber Jalapeno Margarita - tequila, muddled cucumber, jalapeno, agave nectar, lime juice with a tajin rim... also delicious!!
... and the third drink on the table was a Berry Lemon Drop - vodka, lemon juice and mixed berry puree.... delish!
... the menu...
... I started off with a bowl of french onion soup that was very good!!
.... one of my dinner mates instead of ordering a full dinner ordered a bowl of the soup of the day which was a lobster bisque with truffle oil... and two sides ...
... tarragon risotto with butternut squash...
... and parmesan mashed potatoes...
.... I also didn't want a full dinner so I ordered a Starter of calamari and...
.... a side of roasted asparagus with lemon aioli...
it was totally the right choice and was so very good!!!
...my other dinner mate went for a dinner and ordered the grilled wild salmon with black-eyed peas...
______________
.... we were sitting around for a while after dinner talking so I needed another drink...
and got a Dark and Stormy... we finally made a decision about dessert...
... so two of us ordered dessert a dark chocolate brownie with pecan praline gelato.... and I got...
.... a cup of coffee and an order of Vanilla Creme Brulee!! A perfect ending to a fun dinner!!

ReplyDeleteOoh... I am not much for cucumber, but a tajin rimmed jalepeño margarita sounds delicious. I will pull down the tajin and rim my glass the next time I make myself a margarita.
