zinnizBrent took me out to Fleming's last night for Valentine's Day. It was an awesome night. We headed over there for our 8:00 dinner reservations. It really is a shame it's all the way out in Frontenac. Feels like a bit of a hike.
After we were seated in a nice booth away from people, we ordered pre-dinner cocktails as we perused the menu. You gotta love menus with 14 pages of wines by the glass. However, we were planning on getting a bottle anyway. It was a california sangiovese and it began with M. I'm irritated with myself for not being able to remember the name.
When we were nearly done with the cocktails we ordered the wine and our dinners. My appetizer of fresh mozzerella was awesome. For a side with dinner, I had wanted to get the macaroni and cheese but was concerned about the seasoning in it since it was labled "Chipotle". The waiter was reassuring so we ordered it. I didn't like it after all, and he took it off our bill. That was a major plus on his side. The creamed corn I had, however, was awesome. My steak was great too. Yummy all around.
I had toyed with the idea of ordering a dessert but instead ordered a dessert wine -- a moscato. When the waiter brought my wine and brent's after-dinner scotch, he brought along some spoons and said he was bringing us dessert also. He brought us a good sized creme brulee with fresh fruit on top. Another major plus for our waiter.
It was a great night. Yay Brent.
In other news, I'm back in minneapolis and there's some girl here with long blond hair and evidence of heavy use of the crimping iron. Go 80s.
