Last night launched the start of an amazing summer happy hour at The Terrace at XIV, SBE's culinary cornerstone on Sunset. Chef Michael Mina has made the restaurant famous for its wide selection of gourmet goodies and tasting menus, including a substantial selection of vegetarian and even vegan menu items (hoorah!). The restaurant has also earned infamy for a lesser known partner called sky-high prices. But cheapskates, foodies and funseekers can rejoice together at the newly debuted specials offered between 6 and 8 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, all summer long. Drink specials, made special by Krol Vodka and some nice handiwork by the bartenders, are just $6. A small menu of apps from the restaurant are available for $6. And the valet, if you arrive before 7 p, is on hand for...you guessed it...$6.Last night, my happy hour buddy sampled the lobster corn dogs (I'm sure they were called something more impressive)...
And I chowed down on the best popcorn I've ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot, my friends). Black truffle oil should be a mandate in movie houses across the country...
I'll be returning some night soon for popcorn on the patio. You should join me. With prices like these, I may even be buying.

so.. I got "Corrected" last nite. They don't use fake "truffle oil", only butter with truffle. Found out after I sent the popcorn back for more "truffle" per request of the ladies at the table. Who woulda thunk?
Huh--what a bummer! Well, I hope you at least enjoyed it!
