Dinner Under the Stars…blue ones!

John O'Groats

By: Michelle Tepper

Last night was movie night for my husband and I. Normally we take in a movie at the Arclight Cinema at the Sherman Oaks Galleria and mingle around there, eventually ending up at Cheesecake Factory or P.F. Chang’s for dinner. Last night, unexpectedly, we veered off of our normal path and decided to try the new John O’Groats of Encino..for dinner. When I resided in Beverly Hills, I frequently ate breakfast at the well known “breakfast joint” in the city. Dinner there never occurred to me nor did it sound appetizing since steel cut oatmeal with homemade bisquits and jam came to mind.

We pulled into the parking lot in back of the restaurant and PARKING WAS FREE…AND WE DIDN’T HAVE TO USE A VALET! Home run on the parking. Thank you.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted and seated within a few minutes. The dining area was full so we ate outside under the mini blue twinkle lights and heaters. We could have enjoyed our dinner in the cozy bar area, but we opted for a more intimate setting outside. The dinner menu was smaller than most, however, my gut tells me that you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. I have tried most of the breakfast items and have not written any of them off. I chose the veggie burger, with sauteed spinach, tomato, and feta cheese on a LaBrea Bakery Roll. My husband chose wisely as well with the Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The food was incredible…and I hate veggie burgers! We ate every morsel on our plates! John O’Groats – thank you for coming over the hill!
