JiRaffe.

whizzing on by.

mm, just dinnered at a place we just found in santa monica called JiRaffe (corner of santa monica blvd & 5th). it's french / new american with homemade pastas on the menu. we shared a purple peruvian gnocci with spot shrimp and pearl onions. i had the almond crusted rainbow trout and dan had the alaskan halibut. then we split the bread pudding for dessert. everything was really really good, but the gnocci was melt-in-your-mouth amazingness. just wanted to share. can't believe we never saw/tried this place before!
