Lunch at The Ivy

Happy Tuesday!  Did you watch The Bachelorette last night?  I'm crushing hard on a guy with a head injury named Charlie!  There are some interesting men on the show and I think it's going to be a great season.





I'm joining Impulsive and Shawn for Talk To Us Tuesday to tell you about one of my favorite parts of our Huntington Beach trip.  Impulsive Addict has done a fantastic recap of the first couple days here.


On Saturday, we drove to Hollywood and Vivienne showed us around.  


Our ultimate destination....The Ivy Restaurant on Robertson Blvd.



Our table wasn't ready yet, so they gave us Champagne cocktails.  We felt soooo very special and I think some people thought we were somebody.


Becca always look fantastic when she is holding a glass (or bottle) of Champagne! 


Jen decided to go to The Ivy as Betty Draper.


The food....was amazing.  I will dream about my meal for years to come.  Becca licked my plate clean for me.  I also had a sip of The Ivy Gimlet and can't wait to make one at home.  


I had to try the coffee and we had a couple desserts that we passed around.


I loved the flowers on our table and the ambiance on the patio.  



Such a fun day!  



Come back tomorrow for the next Give A Blogger a Book...Club selection!!

  17. Ok, so I hoped you walked Robertson and checked out the great shops and paparazzi and the Starbucks there on the corner of Beverly. And really... Call me next time before you go, because if you did not go to Kings Road Cafe ( BEST coffee), sweet lady janes (cupcakes), Joan's on third ( lunch!), Urth Cafe ( great latte and people watching) and The Farmers Market... Well, then you need to make another trip. And yes... Since you asked, we can be pen pals
