Finally, the rain is gone!! It was such a beautiful day – a little cool, but were still able to enjoy a delicious dinner out on the deck.

LALLA Grill

Here are some pictures from our lunch at the LALLA Grill at Del Monte Center (mall) in Monterey. The place was very well lit and we liked the ’50s diner(ish) decor. I’m a sucker for booths, so I was happy. The service was good and the food was pretty good. We didn’t especially like the drinks – they weren’t bad, just different. I’m sure some people would love that though. The prices are about average for this area. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely go back, especially when we need to kill time before a movie.

Roasted Beet and Pear Salad with Candied Walnuts and Gorgonzola I can't remember if that's exactly what this salad was called, but whatever the name, it was good. The bread with the (Asiago.. I think) cheese baked in? OMG. I think I'd go to Lalla just for that.
