Anjum, Sanket, Monika and I were taking a road trip through California in August 2014. We started somewhere between LA and SF and drove up to SF. We passed some of the most beautiful towns along the way, including Paso Robles, Big Sur, and Carmel/Monterey.
In Monterey, a relative of Monika’s had recommended we go to a restaurant. So we went there not knowing what to expect. At first it started out like any normal meal. We got our menu’s and we were thinking about what to get. Then came round 1. A little unexpected since we hadn’t ordered, but figured it was because Monika had a relative that knew the owners.
Then came round 2. Then round 3. Along that time somewhere, we got a bottle of wine. Then round 4 and so on. Sanket and I started to get nervous, because we had seen some of the prices on the menu and we must have gotten easily $1,000 worth of food already and it just kept coming (yup, coming). But we said, screw it. You only live once. It was hands down one of the best meals I've ever had.
Great food, great company, amazing place and definitely unexpected.
