Valentine's Day Dinner 2 Nights Late
Last night I got the oil changed in my car and the car washed (one chain around here does the oil change/free car wash thing). Then I had some time before![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marnen would get to Osho, so I hit Torrid and found a cute little velvet top (I'll have to get pics).
Osho was great. Expensive, but great. We did the hibachi table.
The server for drink orders and that sort of stuff wasn't good at it. She took the drink orders and then it took the person taking our food order 5 minutes later to find out that we still didn't have our drinks. Then she only came back to ask about refills once- at the very end. About the only thing she was quick about was bringing out the checks.
The chef though was great, and the food was excellent. This overrode the problems with the server. Usually I only eat half of my dinner, but I couldn't stop because it was so good. We had hibachi grilled calamari as an appetizer, then for dinner I had the filet mingon (the *only* person to order my meat bloody rare- none of the 6 guys at table did- Marnen came closest with medium rare) and shrimp. The filet was soooooo good. It didn't even need the mustard dipping sauce that was set for it. I tried it, but it was better without it. The shrimp was very good two, and went well with the ginger sauce. Marnen had steak (non-filet) and chicken.
It was just so good. *wiggle*
I have also failed as a woman, in some ways. They had roses there for 2 dollars (obviously marked down from $5 a piece for V-Day), and I ended up buying one for myself. Marnen started to feel bad because he didn't know I'd enjoy getting flowers. Apparently, discussion about flowers for V-Day led him to believe that I wouldn't enjoy getting flowers anytime of the year. Which is not the case. I think it's rediculous to hike the prices of flowers beyond belief and *have* to give them as a gift for V-Day. But I do appreciate flowers (I mentioned lavendar roses specifically) in general.
He was feeling so bad, while I was telling him that it was ok, because I obviously hadn't let him know. He continued to grumble until I told him that if he really felt that bad he could make it up to me, and it would be up to him on how to do it.
We got home, overstuffed, and promptly fell asleep.
