Thursday night we went to the Grand Central Art Center in downtown Santa Ana for a yelp event. Downtown Santa Ana's awesome - lots of great restaurants and bars, cool-looking lofts and almost everything's within walking distance. After helping ourselves to appetizers from Memphis, wine from MAWL , random interpretations of reviews by Improv Schmimprov, and some raffle prize booty, we weren't ready to call it a night quite yet. So we went across the street to Lola Gaspar. I've gotta say - that place is awesome. If I were still in the dating game - Lola Gaspar would be my go-to first date place. It's such a great place, I was surprised it was in Orange County, it belongs in LA. Great music, great atmosphere, and wonderful food. It's a small, darkly lit place with a long wooden bar and intimate seating. They have a great wine and cocktail menu - I went with caipirinha with strawberries. And their food - holy crap. We had a duck feast - duck confit french fries that were covered in cheese and green chili sauce and some spicy pulled duck tacos. So, take the advice all of my single friends - go to Lola Gaspar on your next date; what with the low lighting, cozy seating, super strong Brazillian drinks, and enough food to put you in a coma - you'll walk away willing to kiss anybody:
