Last  Friday night Paul and I had dinner with some clients (clients who are fast becoming friends) at a really cool restaurant in Santa Monica called Wilshire — a very cool, hip, happening L.A. eatery. It was kind of loud and rowdy when we first walked in, but we had a private room which was very special. There were six of us; three couples. We really enjoyed the intimate setting, the wonderful food, the eclectic decor and each other’s company. Paul had the seared scallops and I had the lemongrass risotto. Very, very good. We dined for hours. The service was attentive without being solicitous, which made for a relaxing and enjoyable evening.
