The theme of this week was definitely "Happy Hour". I went to Bruno's on Tuesday with work folks to celebrate my new position in Regulatory Affairs, and then to Levende Lounge on Thursday with different work folks. Awesome.
So, why not end the week with another happy hour? This time, it was Pier 23 on the Embarcadero, where we joined Chuck and his colleagues at Watson Wyatt for one of their quarterly work parties. Chuck plays a pretty mean fiddle and plays in a band with his co-workers, called Wyatt Riot. We had joined in on Wyatt Riot good times last time in Norrth Beach, where the open bar tab made it quite the night to remember. Good times, indeed.
It was a gorgeous afternoon on the Embarcadero. It looked to be another night of insanity as it was even easier this time to get some libations, in fact, they put out buckets of libations.
A few of us rolled out of Pier 23 Cafe around 9:30 pm and headed to Solstice to meet up with a few other folks. Thankfully, the kitchen was still open, so we ordered some small plates to share.
Ahi tuna tartare with apples, jalapenos and wonton chips.
Frites Two Ways: Idaho potatoe fries with ketchup, and Sweet potato with a watercress/jalapeno aioli.
Carnitas tacos with avocado and cilantro. Very tasty!
Kobe Beef sliders with gruyere cheese and carmelized onions. Yum! This is one menu item that seems to show up on everyone's menu these days. Suits me fine!We also had the Gorgonzola Mac n'Cheese, but apparently, we were too hungry and ate it up before I could snap a picture.
By the time we finished with these small plates, I was ready for bed. The nice thing about starting the night early is that you end early too.
Thanks again, Watson Wyatt, for serving up another Friday happy hour to remember (or not remember) for all times.
