Jame

Sandi and I have been to Jame in El Segundo multiple times. Once again, they participated in the dineLA, and since we both loved their pasta, we thought we would have a late lunch. This time, we were accompanied by our friend Carrie, who had never been there. 

Carrie and Sandi both chose the Brussels Sprouts with Schiaffoni dressing. We have had that before, and it's always super delicious, a bit tangy, and burnt in a beautiful way. I love their Spicy Caesar Salad with chili dressing and pangrattato (crispy bread crumbs). Since the two of them ordered the Brussels sprouts, I was guaranteed a couple of bites from each.

Sandi and Carrie ordered the Capellini with the sauce cooked for 36 hours. I have had that and just remembered thinking this sauce would have been better on a different pasta.

I had the Spicy Rigatoni and was very happy with it. Sandi was not too excited about her Capellalini. It didn't have enough flavor. I mentioned it to our server, Artemio, and he immediately offered to replace it with something else, but Sandi said it was okay; there was no need since it wasn't bad.

The dineLA menu included a cookie for dessert, but since they ran out of cookies, we all got a slice of their Meyer Lemon Pie, which was perfect, tangy, and refreshing. Artemio also included a big slice for us to take home to make up for Sandi's meal. I am always impressed when a server is more than a server. It is not just their job; you can tell they care about the customer. Most people do not share their displeasure and don't return to the restaurant. This way, we are sure to return!

Thank you, Artemio. We hope to see you next time. Jame is located at 241 Main St. in El Segundo, California.
