I'm starting with the menu. Is it just me, or is the whole thing a tiny bit boring? Then again, I haven't eaten a big restaurant meal in FOREVER, so what on earth do I know anymore. I do find this table setting super cute, but seemingly a curious choice...

... with the decor. I can't even tell, with the lighting, what color everythingis but the chairs LOOK red and the tablecloth LOOKS like it has a coral trim, and the room itself LOOKS like someone's garret apartment in a Wes Anderson film. The blue zigzag does NOT jibe. ANYHOO, not much to say about Janelle's outfit other than that it's coordinated and cute and the loafers are zippy.
Alexandra Daddario

This dress is nifty -- it almost looks like it was strung together from tiny little cocktail umbrellas.

That's some 80s blouse energy right there.
Maude Apatow

She's starting to remind me of Leighton Meester. Also this outfit seems so endearingly... normal? Like, any number of college students would and have worn this to a class dinner at their professor's house where everyone ate lasagna and garlic bread.
Maria Bakalova

This is also a nice, relaxed, semi-formal vibe.
Sydney Sweeney in Rodarte

This also has a faint dated Chanel vibe to it. I was surprised to find out it's Rodarte, even though we covered that show -- and in fact, my comment THEN was that it felt like a riff on Chanel. At least I'm consistent. I like it with the boots.
Kiernan Shipka in Rodarte

And, they handed out the sister suit to Kiernan. I can't decide which I like better -- neither one is my dream outfit? -- but it feels a bit less derivative with the cutout.
Charles Melton

Are the ceilings here just really low, or is he tall, or...? Looking at this photo makes ME want to duck.
Cole Sprouse

Are the white boots a little drippy with this?
Brad Goreski

Those boots are CRACKERS. He looks like a man whose dating profile would read, "I am the Indiana Jones of Versailles."
