Singles Dinner for Six - Ages W40-55/M45-60 July 10, 2009

Explore different restaurants each month while getting to know other singles in the age group of your choice . . . so even if there's no love connection you'll still have a wonderful time. You'll order off the menu and receive separate checks for your purchases. Our website allows you to view the profiles of those registered for each dinner, tracks who you've dined with so you meet new people every time, and then let's you send a private message to those you've dined with afterward.

For current space availability, to see who's going, and to register please visit our website at www.TastyLA.com.

Please register early. Schedules are announced three to six weeks in advance, seats are filled on a first come first filled basis, and dinners close three to seven days in advance. Occasionally, space opens up last minute, but this cannot be relied upon, so register early for best results.

This week join us at Josie:

"“Not one for over-the-top trends”, “gifted” chef Josie Le Balch nonetheless produces “stellar”, “adventurous” New American cuisine matched by “wonderful”, “reasonably priced” wines at this “hidden gem on Pico” in Santa Monica; attracting a somewhat “older crowd”, the hearth-warmed room has a “mellow”, “comfortable” feel that, combined with “phenomenal” service, adds up to a “rewarding experience” all around." - Zagat.com

"Josie Le Balch and her husband, general manager Frank Delzio, have worked at some of the Southland's most prestigious and hip spots, including Saddle Peak Lodge and the now defunct Beach House. Le Balch combines her French cooking heritage, her multi-culture exposure and her years of practice with fish and game to deliver sophisticated cuisine with solid dishes. You get a balanced menu that will endure but also the promise of daily specials based on her mood or market availability. Appetizers like sautéed frogs’ legs over celery root purée or the bacon-wrapped grilled quail will get you started. How about a Lake Superior whitefish, a Moroccan-style tagine of beef short ribs or a buffalo burger topped with foie gras to continue her game tradition? A mostly California wine list will help you wash all of this down. Frank is serious about wine, so let him surprise you with one of his finds. Don't pass up the chocolate bread pudding from pastry chef Jonna Jensen for dessert. Go for a drink in the cozy back room or have dinner at a table next to the fireplace and let romance take things from there---with a little help from the swift service staff, Jonna, Frank and Josie."- Gayot.com
