Date Night

For a couple of practical reasons, Matt and I didn't celebrate Valentine's Day until the weekend after. We'd talked about keeping it simple and going out for a nice meal. I reminded him we hadn't been to the hibachi restaurant near our house where he took me to celebrate my first married birthday. That was almost a year and a half ago.

My birthday in 2011.

He was all for it.

We ventured out only to discover the restaurant had moved. Fortunately, it hadn't moved far. They simply ran out of room and moved to a larger place a little farther down the road, but still near our home.

When we got there, the place was hopping. People were everywhere, but still, the wait was only about 20-30 minutes. That's nearly a miracle for a restaurant in these parts on a weekend night. We played a little while we waited.

I recovered quickly.

The new place was really nice. The service wonderful. The food phenomenal. Matt and I both had steak, shrimp and scallops. YUM! 

I have to admit, I studied what the chef did hoping I might one day replicate it. It was good!

When we go out to eat, that's the kind of special place I'd like to go once in a while. A place where the food is so good it may not be reproducible. 

It was a fun Valentine's date night!
