What delectable dish or presentation do you miss from those restaurants of yore?

Les Castelets claimed to require a jacket. I was the only one there wearing one on the night that we went. That was probably 1989, and I haven’t brought a jacket since.

That wax exactly my experience. Walked in, took it off and put it back in the car.

The jackets at Toiny were NOT required. It was a very windy night and the men chose to wear them.

I could have used a light jacket or pashmina.

The protective shades that we requested to be lowered were magically descended after the wine glasses blew over. No guest was harmed but several serviettes turned red and purple and I surmise gave their lives.

John, not to fret as those caps are perfect for outdoor dining and Select appropriate, IMHO.

Amy, I so agree with you about the baseball cap, whether man or woman, & no matter where, leave it in the car or at home.

Where was Tony Soprano when you needed him?!?!?

Perfect…

Well played, T.

... and T buttons his jacket when he stands up

the carrot after showing the stick was a nice touch too

Tony had good moves.

Miss him. Died much too young.

Thanks Bart for that clip.

The same heritage as the lobster cassolette at La Gloriette - both by Albert Balalyn.

Speaking of Albert and Sandra! Looking good today at Nikki!

Funny that you happened to post this photo now, John . . . as I was considering what delectable dish I most miss, I was thinking that it has to be something from La Gloriette. And then Albert & Sandra pop onto the screen. Kismet!

Re: "delectable" . . . I'm torn between Maya's filet mignon and La Gloriette's broiled lobster with frites.
