    I took my lady to an early valentine's date. Rainy night! Street parking is challenging, you have to use the parking garage, not too far away. When we got there the hostess set us up at a window seat which was nice except for the fact that it was storming out and the roof leaked right by our table LOL! The service staff was there in an instant and moved us accordingly. The ambiance was warm, fun, and the place is lively! And a bit loud. But the experience was worth it! Overall, we had a great time; the service was excellent, the waiter was knowledgeable-friendly and efficient (Nick). And the food was excellent! I was really delighted cus you just don't get that at many restaurants these days. I had the short ribs that were done perfectly on a bed of with ornately placed vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes. My date had a bowl of steamers and mussels with a flavorful broth, and it was sprinkled with fries...great touch! Our wine choice was their Cote du Rhone red which paired very well with the short ribs. For dessert we had their warmed chocolate cake with gelato, it was great. We will not hesitate to come back.

    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.
