Larry's Birthday 2024



On Sunday night even though our City was mourning over fire damage and considerable loss, I did not want to let Larry's birthday go un-celebrated!  We drove up to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and dined at Shirley Brasserie.  

I do love the Roosevelt Hotel.  It's a part of Hollywood history.  The hotel has undergone massive restorations in the past 20 years and really looks beautiful. The lobby at night is a bit dark and scary, but I guess you could call it Hollywood Noir!

Shirley Brasserie is the fancy restaurant at the hotel.  There's a coffee shop on the street level, different bars, etc.  It's called Shirley Brasserie after Shirley Temple! It seems that Shirley learned her tap-tastic dance up those Spanish tiled stairs right outside the restaurant from Bill "Bojangles" Robinson.  The photo below is from the actual film, "The Little Colonel" (1935).

We were the only couple in the entire, huge restaurant at first.  People started coming in a bit later. We figured that because it was Sunday night and the town was watching TV to see where the next flames would strike was the reason.  Luckily, our house is out of the danger zones.

Dinner was lovely!  We started out with a Caesar salad and French Onion Soup.  I had the Duck Breast in Orange Sauce with Spinach for my entree and Larry ordered the New York Steak with mini-potatoes.  We topped off our meal with their Chocolate Mousse with Espresso Cream!






Everything was really delicious and I would definitely return to this elegant place the next time we have something to celebrate.  The atmosphere is sophisticated and serene!
