Oh Soho!

Oh the views.  Oh that deck!  The bar, the staircase, the drinks (more on those later), the friendly wait staff, the celeb sightings, the food the delicious food, the olive trees in the dining room, the views, the fireplace, the cozy atmosphere, the lack of cell phones, the views... I could go on and on.  A friend took us to Soho House Friday night for girl's night and it was simply luscious.  We had a drink in the Club Bar ensconced in comfy sofas and chairs with a spectacular of the Sierra Tower where I like to think Rachel Zoe was checking us out from.

My drink, an American Trilogy, was sheer perfection.  Our waiter at dinner was charming and had an accent to make us all swoon - an integral ingredient to girls night.  Following the delicious dinner where the roasted broccoli got rave reviews, we capped off the evening taking photos in the complimentary Photo Booth (black and white of course), and swooning over the ladies room downstairs with it's fabulous wallpaper and views.  Have I mentioned the views?

Oh, and, btw, yours truly got checked out by Kara DioGuardi.  For real.









Thank you Carol!
