Pat, Linda, and I have been friend for almost 30 years. The three of us always get together to celebrate each of our birthdays. In a previous post I have discussed the dinner we had at Manresa for Pat’s birthday. I guess I didn’t write anything about the wonderful dinner we had at Gary Danko in San Francisco for Linda’s birthday. Last weekend we celebrated my birthday by going to Cetrella in Half Moon Bay. It was also am amazingly wonderful dinner. I had chicken liver pate to start, then I had the
Pan Roasted Grimaud Farms Duck Breast, Wild Rice, Toasted Hazelnut and Baby Leek Pilaf with Caramelized Mission Fig for my entree and had the Peach Tart Tatin with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream for dessert. It was all wonderfully prepared and delicious. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was wonderful. I especially liked that the noise level was low. So many good restaurants I’ve been to lately have high hardwood ceilings that make conversation difficult. I noticed that at Cetrella even though the ceilings were high they had acoustic covering.
As you can imagine dinner with three long time friends is always wonderful. We have been through a lot together and never run out of things to laugh and talk about together. It is so wonderful to know that no matter what happens in our lives we will always be friends.
