Random dinner on Wed

Yesterday Billy called in the morning and told me that he just found Lawry's coupon of 75 dollars from the pile of uncle Edward's mails. Since the expiration date was right on yesterday, we went for a random dinner last night. Instead of going to Lawry's, we went to one of the chain restaurant near Griffith park so we could try a new place. The name of the place is called Tam O'Shanter Inn, which is this Scottish themed little place right on Los Feliz Boulevard.

Basically the prime rib steaks were the same as Lawry's, but at this place they had more selection of food. We just ordered one portion of everything that you will see on the photos and shared. For some reason I don't think our usual scheme of eating steak to lose weight has been working lately..I woke up this morning as heavy as yesterday morning...oh well....Here are the photos...

While we were waiting to be seated...


The menu...and the flags in the other section where we weren't sitting...I suppose they are all the family flags of Scottish royalties?

Our appetizer was the calamari with onion on top....and then we had spinach salad with walnut and cranberry together with the super salty french onion soup...

We tried taking a photo of ourselves with the flags in the back. Even though the angle is weird, at least the camera wasn't shaking. The next two photos our waitress took for us were just super blurry....


We ordered Prime rib (Prince "someone" cut...can't remember the name...) with two lobster tails...The lobster tail is very small when put into the plate....and the knife looked huge..lol

Outside of the restaurant looked like a little house in Europe. Since I have not been able to visit Europe ever since my 1st trip as a kid I wanted to take some shots and pretend we were in Europe...and yes....I am determined to visit Europe again...hopefully sometime soon....
