Let Go of My Milkshake

Pico restaurant in Larkspur has the best chocolate Madeleines
and milkshakes I have ever had. The only problem is that as soon as we sat down the waiter told us about their share policy. They want food to be shared so they set every dish in the middle of the table. This way it can be easily accessed and enjoyed by all. Well, this wasn't a problem with the salads, burger and halibut that we shared but as soon as the waiter set down this dessert - Oh trouble! We all forgot the sharing policy and it was a grab for all throw down.

House of Prime Rib

Dinner at the House of Prime Rib felt like I had dropped in a scene from a Mad Men episode. A couple of men in traditional suits with combed over hair came to our initial drink table by the bar to welcome us. As one of them escorted us through the crowded restaurant to our booth, I wished I had a pencil skirt on and a cocktail as an accessory. It’s a good thing that the smell of cooked beef, made me hungry because this place does not stop feeding you. As you can see from my plate. Before this plate of meat and sides, we go delicious bread, regular roll and corn, with a fresh made salad. After eating all this they offered me an extra complimentary slice. I heard from previous diners that they do this often so expect it. The best part is that everything is offered as a package so it's a good meal deal.
