There’s a reason for the experience of fine dining. It satisfies the need to be waited on with style and to make you feel special. Manhattan of La Jolla is such a place. Located in the Empress Hotel in the village of La Jolla, white linen tablecloths signaled the start of a nice evening.
We were greeted at the table by Ara Scalini and he’s been in the Italian dining business for years. He expertly made our table side Caesar salad with a few jokes in-between tossing the lettuce.
The preparation of steak flambe was a sight to behold as the fire flared up on cue.
And, live music! Roman Palacios belted out favorite Pavarotti and Sinatra songs.
Fine dining is so vogue.
