Just because I couldn\u2019t remember the name of the last Dining Diva\u2019s restaurant a week after we\u2019d visited shouldn\u2019t mean that it was forgettable. It\u2019s more about my \u201cplate being too full\u201d (see what I did there?). And any place with the word \u201cdive\u201d in it is unforgettable in my book.
\nAlthough I was not surprised because we were in Clayton, I was slightly disappointed to discover Louie\u2019s Wine Dive is far from being a dive. It has a
\nrustic-feel to it, yet also slightly diner-ish with its open kitchen concept and counter seating, as well as booths and tables, and a patio out front. Located on Bemiston, there\u2019s plenty of available parking in the lots across the street which is a bonus in Clayton.
\nLouie\u2019s has a serious selection of wines but also cocktails and beer. The Vodka Lavender Lemonade was a popular drink choice and the drink special of the day. When asked what that special was, the Contemplative Diva said, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what it was. I just know it was good.\u201d Good enough to forget the name of that too.
\nFor starters, we tried the Guacamole with veggies and chips. Everyone loves good, fresh guacamole, and this was fabulous. Louie\u2019s also has a good Roasted Beet Salad. And the Shrimp Taco appetizer is also a great option for a lighter dinner.
\nThe Non-Drinking Diva really enjoyed the Champagne Fish and Chips, Alaskan cod made with a champagne and rice flour batter. The IPA Chicken, also known as roasted chicken, came with broccolini and garlic mashed potatoes and was delicious.
\nAnd after only being home less than a week, the Travelling Diva was so excited to have a pasta, since she ate mostly Mediterranean dishes while on her trip to Israel. Wild Mushroom Risotto or 4 Pork Gnocchi? It was a very difficult choice but the waitress convinced her to try the homemade gnocchi as it\u2019s a dish that\u2019s not on many restaurant\u2019s menus. She wished she gone with the risotto. The gnocchi was too bland.
\nSpeaking of the trip, almost the entire evening was spent talking about the Holy Land, answering questions about the country, and for one other Diva who\u2019d been there before, reminiscing. In a country thought to be so dangerous, unpleasant, and torn, you really could find peace, beauty, and hope.
\nFrom the moment she entered Louie\u2019s Wine Dive, the Nasal Sensitive Diva was overcome with a sewage odor without relief. Apparently, it bothered her the entire meal, but it didn\u2019t make sense (see what I did there too?) to those of us who smelled nothing. Unfortunately, she really didn\u2019t enjoy her dinner because of the lingering scent. Reminded me of a couple popular \u201cdives\u201d in North County that can relate to that!
\nOnce again, it was a lively, enriching night of laughter and celebration (a new grandbaby!). And for that matter, as long as we have those memories, it doesn\u2019t matter if we don\u2019t remember the restaurant name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
