Bossa Nova

After 11:00 PM on a Saturday, it was challenging to find a place to eat but Kio and Midori recommended Bossa Nova, 10982 West Pico Blvd. W LA CA 90064, 310-481-9802. Off we drove, in three separate cars (I hate that) and found ourselves in a cozy vinyl comforted tent with our own outdoor heater. Why was it so chilly Saturday evening? We just watched a bunch of Japanese short films and animations at Royal Tea for the Japan Film Festival. Bossa Nova, in this tent, was perfect; somewhat quite and secluded. We ordered a ton of delicious plates including the skirt steak so rich and tender, a garlic shrimp plate, a yummy smoked ham with olives pizza, and for dessert, a spectacular caramelized banana and creme in these Benet type fried pockets with vanilla ice cream.
