Providence Tasting.

Thanks to a very generous Valentine's Day gift from my Dad, Alex and I were able to do the full tasting at Providence. About a year ago  we had the dessert tasting, but didn't have dinner. This tasting has been on our "must try" LA for quite a while, and it didn't disappoint. Favorites were the the uni dish in an egg shell (!) and the market cheese plate. Of course, everything was fantastic, those just stood out. The desserts were, naturally, nop notch.  But pictures do better justice than I could describe in words-so here you go!!
