Bottega: Need I say more?

The other night I joined my friends Melinda and Carrie for dinner at Bottega. One word: yum. I’d been a few times this last summer, but just for drinks on the terrazzo. Dinner was delicious: I had a shaved Brussels sprouts salad to start and polenta under glass for my main. They also have a great offering of heartier courses–I was feeling the effects of holiday indulgence and tried to hold back. As it turned out, the polenta dish is wonderfully rich and satisfying–perfect for a wintery evening. I have no regrets. I just need to redouble my efforts at Pilates and scale back other caloric opportunities.

There’s also a tasty looking bar menu, which I need to sample in the near future. Let me know if you’re game!
