We started off with drinks at the Eureka Street Lounge. It has a great bar upstairs. As we sat down, the bartender was prepping 12 martini glasses with ice. I thought that might make a neat photo/possible painting. :)
Next, we walked down to 17th Street for dinner at Frances. I've been wanting to go here for quite sometime, and was finally able to get us reservations two months ago. It's one of those places that's so popular that you can only make reservations no more than two months ahead of time, on open table. Basically, you have to figure out when you'd like to go, figure out 8 weeks in advance, and check opentable at midnight. That's what I did (but had tried several times before with no luck!), and was finally able to score a 7:45 reservation for two.
Oh, my. It was worth the wait. My expectations were high, and they exceeded them all. Everything we had was out-of-this-World good.
Bonus: we had a gift certificate from the Holidays from Dick's Boss that covered the entire meal.
Double Bonus: walking distance from our house! Hands down, best place in the neighborhood!
Triple Bonus: glassybaby on every table!!!
It had all the makings for an amazing evening, and it really came through.
Thanks, Dick for a wonderful and memorable evening. My Sweetie 3.1415926. (My new nickname for Dick)
