To Try: Malibu Seafood Fresh Fish Market

After reading the LA Times review, I've been wanting to have my own champagne and oyster party here forever! BYOB, sunsets on the beach and fresh seafood?

Also since my boyfriend has now become obsessed with fishing, this might curve his appetite to feast on fish instead of sit for countless hours hoping for a nibble.

An Old Favorite: Sweet Lady Jane

Sweet Lady Jane
http://www.sweetladyjane.com/

I'd totally forgotten about this gem of a store, until last night when "desserts" were suggested in lieu of "drinks," and I thought to myself, why not? I seriously haven't been here since high school, and the yummy goodness of a 3 layer chocolate buttercream transported me back to the days of cotillion and after school play-dates.

They also have a nice selection of cupcakes, but the thing I remember most were their mini-tarts. This might have to be added to the rotation of meeting locales, especially since they're open until 11:30 & there's plenty of street parking in front.

Golden State: The Beer Float

One word, delicious! I absolutely LOVED this little treat, a 20 oz glass of stout topped with a fresh scoop of brown bread gelato... I thought it could be hit or miss, but this was definitely spot on. Paired with the sweet potato wedges and the amazing dipping sauce, this is a place to re-visit.
