Whew, it's been quite a year. Work has been crazy and we managed to squeeze in four (if you count Vancouver) international trips as well. And suddenly, it's almost 2017.
Anyway, New Year's Eve started as things usually do for me, with last minute trips to Nijiya and Mitsuwa, giving me a chance to check out the Osechi, something that I've done since my first New Year post.
Then of course, I made Nishime.
This year we did something a bit different for New Year's Eve. We decided to go out and have a nice dinner. With the rainy weather we decided to stay close to home and check out the New Years Tasting Menu at Red Card Café. The price seemed quite reasonable at $46 per person and we were pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed our meal.

And we stopped for a drink on the way home at the High Dive.
The theme seemed to be Disco and the staff dressed appropriately for that theme. The Missus couldn't stop laughing and folks were having a great time.

Sweet Holy Jesus….LOL those musical vids….MTV was created to make that stop, although I begrudingly admit to growing up with and still liking the tunes. Happy New Year to you and the fam Kirk! (furry and non-furry)
Happy New Year! That’s funny, I just met the chef from High Dive at Catalina Offshore. Need to go try that place!
Hope you have a great 2017 Jack.
Not necessarily a big fan of the food at the High Dive, though its gotten better; but really like the vibe Jason. Go check them out though! Hope you have a great year!
Hey Alan – It’s history. You can’t escape it….though some of what I (we) wore…..good lord! Happy New Year!

Hi Lynnea – So nice to hear from you. Hope you and Matthew are doing well. Best wishes for the year to you both. And we do miss your posts!
looking forward to your adventures in 2017!
Thanks Kat! Hope you have a great year too!
happy new year! i heard something about a new chef at red card café so wondering if it is a different person from last year’s SDRW.
anyway, I have all these pesky resolution things, like posting more and keeping up with blog reading (or at least better than last year). looking forward to finding wonderful new spots through yours! 🙂
Hi Lynn – I believe the Sous Chef Alfonso has been promoted to Executive Chef – so the food, be it good or not is basically the same. Best wishes for the year to you!
