Christmas Party @ Byblos, West LA

It's my 2nd Christmas party with the company I'm with right now and it was held in West LA. Byblos is pretty near from my place (2 miles) and it's 2 blocks away from Westside Pavilion. It's a fine dining restaurant in Westwood. We have a long table reserved and Lani and Brack were already there when I arrived at 9pm-ish. Archie, Obi and his wife, Ida, arrived in a short while. Ida told me that she saw my website and it's nice.. She had fun looking at it coz there's lot of picture.. I told her the site wasn't updated since I got here in the US. We ordered cocktails at the bar and Archie gave me Apple Martini. The drink is too strong for me that's why I asked for Midori sour (it's my fave). When Fred (our boss) arrived, he ordered appetizer and it tastes really good.. It's something new coz I never tried Mediterranean type of food before.. The DJ started playing loud Mediterranean music and group of ladies went to the dance floor. We danced too and Fred told me.. this is the "Puff Daddy" of Persian.. hehehe He's funny.. He danced with his beautiful wife while I danced with the girls.. Janet and Cynthia.. Got tired so I returned to my seat and the main dish arrived... it's Kabbab. I remember our Christmas party last year, we ordered by ourselves and I got the most expensive entree... Filet Mignon. I have something in mind that night too.. it's Lamb Chops but Fred already ordered for everyone. I guess his bill sky rocketed last year and he doesn't want to do the same mistake again.. hehehe

I had a great time. I wasn't able to see the belly dancers to their thing though coz I left a little bit early with Archie and Obi. I think we're the only Asians in that restaurant.. it's mostly Armanian.
