Best Outdoor Dining ~ East Bay Express 2001
Spend a sunny morning sitting on the patio of La Note and you’ll
swear you’ve jetted off to Aix en Provence. The brick courtyard
is surrounded by flowers and high yellow walls that look like they’ve
spent a few decades next to the sea. You can take your cafe au lait
at one of the pleasant table cloth-covered tables and lean over to sniff
at the lavender and jasmine bushes next to your chair. Too bright? Put
on your Jackie-O sunglasses and have the garcon move one of the parasols
nearer. Watch out, or you might be brained by one of the ripe lemons
ready to drop from the trees overhead.
