The boyfriend and I recently took a little overnight trip to Beverly Hills for relaxation and, as usual, some exploration. We stayed at The Crescent, an adorable yet luxurious boutique hotel just blocks away from Rodeo Drive. We were greeted with complimentary glasses of red wine and settled right into our cozy room. I especially took notice of the pendant chandeliers and hound’s-tooth fabric wall treatment.    

 

After about 2 hours of painful (not really) discussion, we decided on Thomas Keller’s Bouchon for dinner. Although I do have something negative to say about their service, the food was truly the star of the evening. Chicken liver mousse with crostini, followed by a huge pot of mussels from Maine, steamed in white wine, Dijon and saffron, served with a side of French fries. Amazeballs. We were feeling pretty full after this amazing meal, so we took dessert to go…
