Thursday night, mom, dad, Uncle Daniel and Auntie Maryann and I went to Chez Panisse for dinner! It was my first time there :). Initially, we thought we'd reserved a table in the restaurant, but it turns out we were in the upstairs cafe. I'm actually really glad we were in the cafe because the restaurant had a $75 fixed menu for the night which included porkloin (and I don't eat pork) so that would have been kind of a waste. Instead, we got to select our own entrees, it was cheaper, and try some of each since we all got different ones! Best of both worlds!
Dinner was delightful. I had eaten before coming because I got hungry :) and our reservation wasn't until 8, so I wasn't very hungry at dinner. I went mostly for the experience and seeing what Chez Panisse is like. I'm really glad I went! It's nice, but like most upscale fancy restaurants. It's nice that they cook with good, healthy, organic, local ingredients and produce though.
