High Fives for great service at Anisette!
There will be fewer postings here because I will be focusing on work for the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts from now until July. I was in Santa Monica today at Anisette Brasserie (http://www.anisettebrasserie.com/) gathering painting material. Wandered first through the Santa Monica Farmer's Market then photographed the restaurant but it was so difficult to concentrate on the camera when the food arrived!
Chef Alain Giraud appeared on the floor greeting his customers and to my surprise stopped at our table to spend some time chatting with my grandson, sharing pictures of his son with his soccer team on his iPhone! As I peered over my grandson's shoulder I caught pictures of beautiful culinary compositions on plates that Chef had recorded. Wow! And here he was sharing this with a five year old! This man really knows how to dazzle his audience.
And I don't want to close without stating how wonderful the service is at this restaurant. Thank you, Greg, Chef Alain and the rest of the staff for a lovely afternoon.
