Message: | Hands down Patina for my anniversary: 1st: 4 seperate seafood preparations. 94' Beringer Resv Chardonnay. 2nd: Lamb loin seared, and I beleive the leg and thigh were confit in pan jus, cannot remember the sides. 91' Caymus-Napa. 3rd: Cheese cart, about 6 types--just the description from the cheese guy on the 30 or so types was impresive. Taylor 20 yr Tawney. 4th: Homemade cookies with expresso. We had had our wedding at Pinot in Pasadena before it closed and were invited to Patina by the Pinot rep. She had 2 glasses of champaign waiting on our arrival. I brought my own wines and she had corkage waived for us. The only sour note is, "Beware the water guy". We ordered 1 bottle of H2O and when the bill came we discovered we had drank 3 bottles at something like $10 or $12 a pop. Still one of my most memorable meals. |
