Here is how I remember our December dinner:
A handful of girls show up to Le Central a few minutes early for our 7:30 reservation. While we waited, we managed to throw down I forget how many rounds of martinis to kick off the evening...
Finally, we were seated in a lovely room at a long, roomy table, surrounded by soon-to-be victims of our soiree.
I remember a lot of talking and gabbing and finally deciding on many appetizers -- the most memorable being the escargot -- sopped up with bread -- amazing and tasty-good. I recall some tasty as always, mussels, and of course, the free-flowing wine.
And then appeared a surprise round of champagne from some fantastic person Katie associates with in the Rioja-world. (I think?!) Oh, it was bubbly and fun. M'hm.
Then a bunch more talking and loudness and then some more food -- I ordered a lovely piece of fish, a large piece of cod, accompanied by rice, cooked-to-perfection and still crunchy, green beans and some cabbage. I ate very little of it at the table because I had too many decadent appetizers but fortunately Le Central puts the leftovers in a nice, recyclable box (if you forgot your tupperware.) Then of course, more wine.
Somewhere in there was the surprise shot of something frenchy and that was probably the shot that sent most of us over the edge...
I believe we managed to close the place down. I think the staff wanted to kill us. But we had a great time once again at Le Central! I thank everyone and I hope they don't really hate us. Comment on... xoxo
