My UCLA friends greeted me with a very nice dinner and very lively discussion at Napa Valley Grill in Westwood. The décor is elegant with recalls to Napa Valley. The service was attentive and gracious. Service started with some pillowy bread.
As my first course, I ordered the Autumn Harvest salad: butternut squash, apples, nuts, cheese, among other entries. Everything was very fresh and the composition was nicely balanced. After such a big salad, I probably should have enjoyed a cup of soup and left things at that, but of course that isn't what I did.
I don't have the chance to order tuna very often so I enjoyed my medium rare preparation. It included a crust to provide a texture contrast.
Our discussion was in full swing so we ordered some dessert to enjoy as we talked. I enjoyed this key lime pot au crème, very rich and creamy.
