The night to remember…
So as many of you may or may not know, had a date Sat night. Well I had planned on a good V-day style type of date to “ease” us back into the whole dating scene. We procured a babysitter in H's parents and lil sister so was taken care of and the night was set. Until I got a call saying that someone who was helping me with my plan was out of town. No biggie, just gotta come up with a backup plan. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, two hours and nothing I couldn't find a single place that would accommodate what I wanted to do so I went home distraught. When H actually had the greatest idea well almost ever. She suggested a local eatery which my co-workers RAVE about. Jennifer James Contemporary Cuisine. We called for re sos and got in for a 9:30 slot, I felt pretty high class needing resos. So we leave our pad round 7 ish and get Ri to her babysitter safely, the proceed to O'Niell's for cocktails. We had one or two more than planned on before dinner but we enjoyed our chat time. Well we saw the time and had 10 mins to get to the restaurant we booked it and fortunately the locales are close so we made it right on time.
We were seated and the wine list and menu of the day was presented. The wine list, WOW! There were a few bottles on there Im thinking I might want to crack open with my newly wedded wife after our marriage. Well since we are poor kids we pick on the lower side of the list. Though the bottle of wine I chose, wow, it was great, it was Penfold's Thomas Hyland Shiraz 2000. (Want some? get some!) Um yeah did I say WOW?!? This stuff was great not too tart nor too dry, it actually complimented my tuna steak perfectly as did it add to the taste of the lobster rolls H ordered. We got four chocolate dipped Strawberries filled with Godiva chocolate liquor and some coffee to sit around and chat with. The food the service and the ambience was spectacular, well worth the money we spent for our fabulous meal! If you wanna have a decadent night and have money to spare? Go, go, go, go, H are considering giving up all our eating out privileges just to have a once a month outing to this great place. So four thumbs up and two toes, I dunno about H but it was that great. For those of us not made of money I present something I found online to use there, I think, hopefully they still honor this. Click here even if they don't it still worth a visit, not only that you can feel high class *pthb*
So we moved onto the Cooperage so H could get some lovin from her co-workers and we could enjoy some good salsa. Well she managed to get me out on the dance floor in our short time there. All I can say is this was a much needed night and I wanna do it again. Well I best hit tha sack, nite all.
