To Ugo we go!
Last night I had dinner with the always charming B. You know you have a true friend when that friend is out running errands only to return to find you in their house, after letting their dog out of the kennel, with your feet up knitting away with the aformentioned dog hanging out by your side and their thinking that's a great way to start an evening.
Off to Ugo we go.
Now, I adore Culver City. I think Westwood could take a cue or two on this little slice of L.A. just improving by the day. Not only does Culver have food, but good food, interesting food. So, any suggestions B makes on a new place, I'm in.
Ugo is just darling with their main restaurant and then their separate gellato/dessert/light menu cafe next door. Because it was a nice evening we opted for the patio. Sadly, we were not informed that this patio is a smoker's paradise. (Note to smokers: This is your place. Anyone who gripes that you have no place to go and smoke, I've just given you a yummy one.) Also we were not informed that the service would be less than acceptable. (sigh) But, I will openly admit that the food was very good.
With the smoke and the level of service, there are just too many places to try in Culver City now to settle for anything less than fabulous. So, I think it'll be awhile before I give Ugo another chance-o. But, if you're a smoker and you want a friendly place to hang out, enjoy!

We were there last winter...sat inside...LOVED the food. The service was much better inside too. I think Ugo recently opened a wine room. Check it out on www.triplecreme.blogspot.com
I've been meaning to get to Ugo. Know what place I LOVE LOVE LOVE?! Tender Greens! Can't get enough!
Ellen - Yes, we stopped by there on our way out and had gelatto...super yum!
Frank - LOVE Tender Greens. I've been there more times than anywhere else in the area even though I still haven't tried everything in the area. Their salad "specials" are always fabulous!
