I missed Susan's birthday bash on Tuesday so we met at Bistro St. Germain in Seal Beach for happy hour. www.bistrostgermain.com. Before 6:00 tapas are half price an discounts on beer and the chalkboard wine list. Lucky to arrive at the same time and we both got parking spots right in front. A good omen. Walked in and the place is packed. So Susan goes to the bar and talks with Armand who miraculously finds us a table. Susan sells wine to the restaurant and that probably helped.
Ordered a variety, shrimp scampi, bruschetta. vegetable risotto, sauteed mushrooms. baked green mussels. All good. And we were stuffed. A real bargain.
I had a couple of glasses of a Brut Rose and Susan opted for a beer. When you taste wine all day that is not what you want for dinner. Place was busy all evening. Large, local crowd.
It is interesting walking down Main St., to see which bar/restaurants are busy and which ones are not. I sometimes wonder how some of these places stay in business.
