The restaurant at the Cara Hotel was a gorgeous setting to enjoy delicious California inspired cuisine in Thai Town area of Los Angeles, California
When I first met Jem when we both were at a former real estate brokerage, I had no idea that our interactions would develop into a series of great conversations over dinner.
For this lovely experience, I picked Cara Restaurant at the Cara Hotel.

From the photos, I thought it would be a beautiful experience. However, I couldn’t have expected how beautiful it would be. Lounging by the pool under a clear blue sky was A Los Angeles Moment. The aesthetics were visually delicious.
I started with the BUTTERFLY’S DAY OUT (Surf City Vodka, Lemon, Butterfly Tea Syrup, Cava) cocktail. With the edible peony, it was a beautiful way to start the evening.

The PROSCIUTTO AND MELON (heirloom melons, basil, olive oil) was delicious. I love the summer influence of melons and meat into Southern California cuisine.
