53 By The Sea

Forty Niner Restaurant

Whenever we have chilly weather, I always crave saimin, and I was able to satisfy that craving with a trip to Forty Niner Restaurant recently. When we got there I was *this close* to ordering Garlic Chicken instead, but I knew I'd regret it if I didn't get Saimin, and I was very happy that I did indeed order Saimin.  It was delicious!
