We so miss eating out in good ole LA...with numbers down...we decided to book a table at our favorite restaurant, at good ole Tam O'Shanter. Eating inside restaurants is not permitted however, eating outside is. So we booked a table on the patio to celebrate this most special day of love and like any good movie there was an element of surprise...WIND!!!
Our first trip back to a restaurant was like visiting the Wizard of Oz with men dressed in PPE gear aka facemarks and plastic gloves. We had to following the brick road to our table. The restaurant had set up tents. This has always bugged me. If you are not supposed to eat inside, why is eating inside a tent okay? Anyhow, we got the one table not covered by the tent which was fine by me (safety) but boy was it ever a windy dining experience! I am pretty sure no droplets could have penetrated our masks in this unique situation.
Despite the weird wind, the meal was absolutely delicious! Prime rib, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, the loveliest of rolls and a nice big Walt Disney themed cocktail! It was nice to feel human again for an hour (our meal sort of sped up in the wind).
Surprisingly, the family opted out dessert. My ice cream loving child decided it was too chilly to eat one of the Tam's famous sundaes so we went home. I am pretty sure my husband thought I was crazy to book this dinner but sometimes a gal needs a little special, especially, in a global pandemic.
