I owe you a debt of gratitude for recommending this place. We went there for dinner last night and had an absolutely remarkable meal. They're going to start serving lunch there in a couple of weeks, and I plan to go back asap.
I'm a lifelong New Yorker who has long loved See's. I had no idea they sold it in NY! I just got back from LA yesterday, and carried four pounds of it back in my bag.
Crisp, without question. Mmmmmmm!
Sable on a bialy, OR scrambled eggs with lox & onions. Pure heaven.
Gorgeous photos -- great meal -- but am I the only one that will wait to go back because of the acoustic nightmare?

Re the size of the pasta portion: We ate at Scarpetta 2 weeks ago, and the portion of the spaghetti and tomato was more than ample. The phot is not reflective of what was served - i would say I had at least double what that phot shows. I think it's a little deceptive. Our experience of Scarpetta was almost identical to Ed's - the food was great, the service was REALLY good (everyone had worked with Conant before) and they kept refilling the breadbasket for our teenager - 3 times! We live in the neighborhood and it's our new favorite . . .
I love the scotch Mallows. Its the first one I pick out of the box.
I LOVE See's too and I work in the same city as one of their factories and one of the discount stores. I like how they give free chocolate pieces to enjoy while in their stores.
Love See's! Hubby brings them back to me here in Georgia after his business trips. My favorite is dark chocolate chews, but we've recently discovered the toffee-ettes. You can't eat just one.
He's from Ohio and grew up eating Esther Price chocolates. They're great, too, if you ever get a chance to try them.
Every time I go to LA (which is a lot) I pick up See's Awesome Walnut Squares or Dark Chocolate Molasses Chips. There are boxes of them in my kitchen right now.
I think See's excels in toffees, nuts and chews. I'm from L.A., so my family always puts out a box during the holidays. Not a huge fan of their truffles though...they're grainy and too sweet.
my favorite is (was) their brickle bar. it was a 2 inch x 1 inch x 0.5 inch thick rectangular candy bar filled with almond buttercrunch, covered in semi-sweet chocolate and then coated in chocolate sprinkles. it was only $1 and then later $1.25. when you include the free piece of candy they give you, such a sweet deal.
unfortunately they stopped producing it a few years ago =(
i used to go to see's and get a couple of chocolates almost every afternoon when i lived in san francisco. i love their nuts and chews and the lemon and raspberry buttercreams! i always pick up a box or two when i pass through SF airport.
I miss See's since moving to Tulsa. It is sold during Christmas at the mall and I load up on Molasses Chips, but I sure miss browsing the stores.
