Dodie's 67th Birthday Dinner at Tropa Restaurant in Lafayette, CA

Yesterday, October 15, 2025 was Dodie's 67th birthday. Dodie is my oldest son.

I treated him for Dinner along with his wife, Ruth to an upscale, Filipino modern restaurant in Lafayette, CA- Tropa. If you have been following my blogs I first wrote an article on this restaurant last month as follows:

As expected the food was delicious especially the Baby Ribs Adobo. The food presentation was also professionally done. I took some photos of our dinner, along with photos of stories behind the names of the cocktails offered by the restaurant.  I am also attaching our dinner itemized bill. We did not order drinks or desserts. However, we have Lumpia as appetizer, Pancit Bihon ( for long life), Adobo Baby Ribs and Breaded Eggplant with mango salad topping. Dodie ordered a soft drink. Here are the photos;  

   









 



Salamat- Means Thank You---- We will return. Hopefully, The Restaurant will be offering Lunch before the end of the year.  For more details/reservations visit their website:
