    And yet again we had a fabulous dinner and time at La Sen. We have been enjoying/loving this restaurant for at least 10 yrs since they were located in Concord, CA. We even have a special table next to the wine wall. Every time we walk through the door, we are greeted by smiles and "welcome back". My husband is a wonderful chef and spoils me every night for dinner, BUT he doesn't prepare roast duck breast. That we save for our La Sen dinner. Because the portion is large, we always do a split plate, which is just enough food for each of us. It is always cooked to perfection. Hot crispy skin outside and medium rare inside, lovely sauce on top with a polenta square and perfectly cooked veggies. A lot of restaurants try to rush through the service, La Sen servers understand that it's the whole experience to be enjoyed and expertly time each course to allow the savoring of tastes and nice quiet conversations of table diners. The other shout out I have is their mushroom soup. It is by far the best I have ever slurped. It is a special soup du jour and glad it's been offered for the last three times we have been there. It is so decadent and glides down my throat putting a yummy content look on my face. My husband gets their calamari frits, which he says is one of the best he has ever tasted.

    We always enjoy the Lafayette Park Hotel and the park bistro and bar. My sister and I had a lovely lunch of Campari and soda Caesar salad and the always delicious chicken pita. It was a rainy day and it made the day so much more cheerful.

    Took my brother here for his birthday. I knew he would like the kind of food and I didn’t know if I would. I had been to the bakery and enjoyed all three pastries I’ve gotten so I wanted to try this new restaurant. It was very nice. We got a combination of probably five dishes and then dessert. There were a lot of unique flavors and we liked everything a lot. I would definitely go back.
