We just went there for dinner on Sunday. It was our first time there, but the ambiance was so familiar. When one of the owners came to our table and said she recognized us from our former favorite French restaurant, it made sense. She and her husband sold the other restaurant, which was in Eagle Rock, and are now the owners of Bistro de la Gare! We had a nice long talk about South Pasadena. <BR/>Laurie - she said for you to say hello next time you're in. She is the stylish woman who is often behind the bar. So...libraries aren't your only night spot!!! Lovely night shot of the restaurant!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-54879876348050158902008-10-07T12:39:00.000-07:002008-10-07T12:39:00.000-07:00Wine?

I'm much better when looking at behinds than fronts...oh, wait, that came out wrong!<BR/><BR/>There used to be a wine supposedly grown and made in SoPas---Raymond Hill (ala the Raymond Hill faultline). I believe it has been picked up by Bronco Wine Co, yea who give us $2 Chuck. RH used to be a decent wine, not fantastic, but okay.
