| - last week i came here with my girl friend for their wednesday night special. i'm glad i paid a visit. in general, i don't really understand fancy american restaurants in general and tend to avoid them. i think they're silly and overpriced. but since this place is just down the street from the hospital where we work, we decided to pop in after work.
my friend, thinking ahead, had brought a change of clothes. she looked so nice in her fancy dress and heels. me, on the other hand, walked right in with my scrubs on. that's right, no shame here. i was tired, hungry, and wanted that bottle of wine.
we had the merlot and pierogies to start. the pierogies weren't really pierogies. they were more like ravioli. really good butternut squash ravioli. the filling was really filling. i think i'd go for a salad next time tho to lighten things up because our main dishes were pretty heavy. we shared the veggie risotto and the mac and cheese. both very delicious. creamy and delicious, as expected. the risotto actually had a lot of vegetables, almost fooled me into thinking i was eating something healthy. the mac and cheese we got without the chorizo because i'm vegetarian and my friend doesn't like chorizo anyway, so it did taste like it was kind of missing something. but it was still good anyway.
the best part tho, which we paid extra for of course, in addition to the 2 for 40 thing, was the bread pudding. with vanilla ice cream. oh it was heavenly. even at the end of the meal when we were both pretty full, it was still delicious. that's a good indicator.
the bill came out to a little more than i normally like to pay for a meal but less than if we had just gone on any other day.
anyway, so i'm not sure that i'd be back during regular nights,, but i'll surely be back on wednesdays again and to try the brunch which i've heard is yummy as well. the place itself is really cute, with different rooms which creates sort of a cozy feeling.
