Fraiche and Some Other Stuff

After a grueling day of shopping, J's parents took us to Fraiche for dinner. Unfortunately, we didn't have reservations and had to eat at the bar, so we were restricted to the bar and appetizer menus. Food included both good and bad dishes, but both desserts were wonderful.
The Pear Tartine was the crowd favorite. Deliciously ripened pears baked on top of paper thin layers of crispy dough and paired with a mouth smackingly intense homemade butterscotch ice cream.
The flourless chocolate cake and chocolate mousse was deep and dark, and would have been even better on a more empty stomach.

Bling! I was supposed to be shopping for J's watch, but somehow got distracted by diamond necklaces instead. It's silly, but fun.
These are for real. A small beaded clutch and a faux pearl brooch. I'm taking both to my fitting tomorrow to see if they match my dress.

yelped about fraiche on Fri, but we had horrible service. Food good, service, horrible! Glad you liked it, perhaps the bar is better. Love the clutch!

Yeah, service could definitely be better in multiple ways. The food was great last time we ate there.

Bar food was mixed. Steak tartare was fabulous, mussels were less than fresh.
