Pre Valentine Dinner at Cafe Ysabel

Around 3 dinners ago, Newton has been insisting we go to Cafe Ysabel to try this burger with foie gras

 

So finally, we arranged our pre-valentine dinner and Paolo and Trina came all the way from the South and we came all the way from Makati through the traffic  to try this burger.  Only to find out that it was not available that evening!  

But anyway, when we arrived, I felt like I was in highschool when James and I would date and go out for dinner 

It was very simple back then with menus that were straight forward…though they have some dishes that are a sort of fusion yet the place was kept as is…which was nice for a change in a world where everyone is becoming modern and fast changing.  The place reminded us of our highschool days and it was nice They put us in the smoking area since everything else was reserved… 

Its a good thing our waiter moved us to this other area which became our private dining area.  We had them put the two tables together

So here we are
