So much fun last night...
I was in Santa Monica
(2000 Main Street)
Eating here.
After drinks at Katsuya I met some fun friends for dinner at the amazing La Grande Orange. Casual. Hip. Warm. Perfect service. Mexican/Japanese hybrid. It is a great restaurant to hang out, eat yummy food and enjoy Santa Monica. This place is the anti Katsuya...IN A VERY, VERY GOOD WAY.
Started and finished off with red sangria. Ate too much/many guacamole and chips, sweet potato rolls, spicy tuna rolls, soft tacos and the incredible Evil Thai Princess salad (minced chicken, peanuts, lemongrass and kaffir lime).
It was my first time there but it WILL NOT be my last. If you, like me, have found it hard to find a comfortable, adult, clean place that will seat you when you want to eat (as opposed to 6:00 or 9:45)...Then you are welcome, I have done the legwork for you!
By the way, next time someone recommends Katsuya, Toscana or Giorgio's, suggest La Grande Orange and wear your flip flops!
