Last night my friend Bree, another friend and I went to Wine Vault Bistro, located at 3731-A India Street pretty much hidden since I go to Shakespeare's all the time and I've never seen this place.
The three of us met for their Mardi Gras Dinner which consisted of 10 courses paired with beer, wine and coffee.
The evening was very fun, since of course all we did was talk about men and interrupted our conversation in order to enjoy the amazing food.
