Water, beer and beverage lists
The menu
My favorite section of the menu - beef
Artsy atmospheric picture of John's reflection in the window in front of a patio vase
Roma tomato, mozzarella, basil lemon vinaigrette, veal demiglace/balsamic reduction - I think. Crap, I forgot to take a picture before I took a bite. Way to go, food stylist.
Mary and Robin, looking totally fly
The stunning Deb
Phil G's wife Donna and Carolyne
Ground Angus Empanada, chimichurri, veal demiglace reduction
Phil (this event's inspiration) never stood still long enough for me to get a good candid portrait!
"Leche de Tigre" halibut seviche shooter with a big kick
Another picture of the seviche just for the halibut. I couldn't decide between the two.
Heather arrives
Jackie already had a beer in her hand before I even knew she was there.
I love this shot. That's the backs of Gayle, Mary and Joseph M for the win with the umbrella chapeau
We only get a taste of Gary in his dirndl...
...and then he switches to a just-as-cool-if-not-better "Le Picard" beret, which he bought at a yard sale in France. How elite of him! I just knew you were a dirty beret-wearing liberal, Fox.

Jackie, Heather, Catherine. Meow!
Hey, there's that first dish again! Without a bite out of it!

Chicken empanadas
My sweet, sweet Churrascos (marinated skirt steak with asparagus, chimichurri and red potato mash). Heaven
on a white plate.
My favorite picture of the night. The staff wore
hats, too! Look how great they look, Anthony's familia. I have a better, bigger, hi-res version that I'll deliver to the restaurant as a thank you.
Service was great, company was great, food was great, it felt good to be wearing
hats inside
on a cold rainy early evening. Good times. Thanks a million again, Anthony and everyone at Seviche.
If anyone else has pictures, please post them here!
