Last night the better-half and I went to Bacchus for dinner. We’ve been there once before and were very impressed so we decided to eat our celebratory dinner there last night. The menu at the link above is slightly different than the one we looked at last night, but the linked menu will give you a good idea of what’s served. We started with drinks, because that’s what we do.
I had a Kir Royal because I love both chambord and champagne. The better-half stuck with his favorite mix of Maker’s Mark and ginger ale. We had the sautéed calamari and beef carpaccio to start. Garlicky and caper-laden goodness. The better-half got the spinach caesar and I had the fried goat cheese salad. The pecans were outstanding. Salty and sweet.
He had the veal marsala and I had the baked lobster. Know how lobster can be a tricky beast? Look away for one second and it becomes tough and dried out? The chef created a perfect lobster tail with (and I’m guessing, because the menu doesn’t say) olive oil, tarragon and lemon juice. I poked around in the shell to get every last bit. The veal marsala was tasty too.
We were too stuffed to eat dessert but we’ve had dessert there before. I think in the future we’ll skip the salads since they were huge and got in the way of dessert.
This morning the alarm clock jolted me awake. I hit the clock so hard that once again I advanced the time by an hour. I was so discombobulated that I really thought it was 7am when I woke up. I’m supposed to be at my desk by 7:30. Lucky for me I figured out the correct time. On my way into work, I drove by the usual place to stop and buy coffee and it was slammed. I decided I didn’t need coffee. After about 30 minutes at work, I walked down the street to a new place that went in where the sexy Italian men used to serve up a nice cup of caffè. The bright, shiny college students working there got a dollar tip on a $2 coffee because I figured it’s Friday and they need beer money. The coffee was delicious and now I feel like I can avoid snoring at my desk.
Impressive menu. Based on that, I would have ordered the scallops, and I’m guessing Jim would have ordered the rare tuna entree. Either way, it looks like the perfect place for a 10th anniversary dinner. A feat worth celebrating!
We are coming up on anniversary number 21 in May. It freaks me out even to say that number. Time goes by so fast.
You go to restaurants I’ve never heard of before…I guess because they don’t have a playland and a clown *LOL*
Maybe one day my hubby and I can get back to “dating” at nice restaurants..until then, party of 4 for Shoney’s please!! *icky*
