So... it's Friday night date night... and... no date. "Nother Chardonnay please and follow it up with the largest slice of Chocolate Volcano Cake ya got".
I found myself in quite a 'state' after having driven around the Brikdale Circle for ...an hour I think, trying to find a parking place. After being sufficiently aggravated and haven only eaten a salad 8 hours ago I needed a bevy and substance... STAT !
I wandered into Dressler's because tonight I can't take the crowded bar shenanigans and I needed some quite relief to relax and unwind. The restaurant was somewhat busy but the bar area was peacefully Sarine so I "dined" or rather "wined" at the bar. Kevin, the bartender, who also happens to be from Buffalo kept me company while I gorged myself on my cake. We had a nice conversation and then a big group walked in. It was after 10PM now and they were the only other folks in the bar area. I could tell they were receiving a loving reception by the staff and I later learned it was the Pit Crews for two very prominent local race teams. Very cool.
After my over indulgence I felt ready to call it a night. However, the Manager John and I got talking and before I knew it, it was closing time (11PM). They were so attentive and made me feel very welcomed. By the time I left, I had forgotten all the day's troubles and felt like I gained some new friends and probably a few guilty lbs ;) .... o well it was worth it!
Thanks Dresslers... you know how to make a girl feel at home.
