Prickly Pear Margarita, so smooth, barely sweet, totally refreshing
Spring panzanella salad of asparagus tips, English peas, radishes, fried croutons, pureed almond and red wine vinaigrette, perfectly textured, a real taste of spring
Sarah from work and I stopped by for a cocktail and a bite to eat before going to the Hollywood Theater to see a movie. Besides each of us enjoying the Prickly Pear Margarita, we shared the salad, and two appetizers: fried risotto & parmesan arancini with Mama Lil's Hungarian pepper aioli and seared sea scallops, warm romesco and micro greens.
Perfect, sun-warmed dining followed by another side of life, no less satisfying in all of its dark, complex, emotional morality--director Cary Fukunaga's version of "Jane Eyre."
Quite the evening out.

That salad looks so good.
I live in Greece now, but am from Portland. Love your blog and the pictures! It helps to make me feel like I am not so far away! We come home about once a year to see family. The margarita and the salad look SOOOOO good. Thanks for sharing Portland...
