Last weekend Sarah and I met several of her coworkers for drinks at Bodega and dinner at Agrario. I have to say the food in Eric’s restaurants never disappoints. I had the pan seared dover sole, which was served with an onion quiche. I’ve had sole before, but this was probably the best. It was tender and moist. I think …
Salmon Cream Cheese Spread

Stay tuned for all the …
