(Almost) Seven Years, and Not an Itch in Sight (16/365)

Thursday night Matt and I got a babysitter (thanks, Annie!) and went out for dinner and a movie for our seven year anniversary. It's technically on Monday, but this weekend was full so we opted to celebrate on Thursday instead. There is a dinner and a movie place just a few minutes from us that we've been meaning to check out for ages now so we decided to give it a go.

I was skeptical about how it was going to work. Would the waiters going in and out the whole time bother me? Would everyone and their mother treat this like they were at a show and be quiet, or at dinner and talk the entire time? I was pleasantly surprised on all of those counts. No one was disruptive, if you don't count the woman and her two SMALL children who probably wandered in because The Princess and the Frog was sold out, the waiters were fantastic, and the only parts of the movie we missed we missed because WE were talking.

What would make me not go back though was the food. It was pretty good, but there wasn't much selection unless you wanted bar food, pizza, or burgers. Oh and don't forget the full two pages they had dedicated to alcohol. I'd personally rather go to a place that had a whole page, hell why not a whole MENU, dedicated to dessert, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, my sandwich was pretty good, but I would have rather had the option to have a lighter meal, then time to let my belly rest, and then chow down on movie foods. So in the future I'm sure we'll skip the all-in-one place and opt instead to do dinner separately.

Oh, I do highly recommend seeing Up in the Air, by the way. It was a FANTASTIC flick.

We sat in the most comfortable rocking office chairs.
I was pleasantly surprised that I liked watching a movie this way.
Ask Matt, I was concerned.


The place was absolutely STUFFED with this kind of stuff.
I could have looked around for hours at all the memorabilia.
