Since we had not planned ahead, a weekend dinner spot ANYWHERE worth eating at would be filled to capacity and beyond. Our
first choice had a 30 minute wait--so they say, what if it ends up much longer?
And I thought we'd make it an early night so that we'd get enough rest for the longer day tomorrow. Then our
next choice, we drove by and found that there were already people all lined up outside so I'm assuming the inside waiting/lounge area was filled with hungry people also. This would have been a fun place to take Yodi since the owner encourages hands-on dining as that's the Indian way.
We wandered the blocks of
Broadway to narrow down a place to eat. Closest to where we parked were two decent looking patio dining spots. Through some amount of debating, we decided we'll have Yodi try some casual French cuisine at
Mistral French Bistro.
So we figured we'd give patio a try. This will be Pichu's first patio experience. She will not leave Yodi alone in the bag.
