Special Date Night...

There's not a whole lot to say about this post, because the pictures speak for themselves.  The background is that my husband and I enjoyed a special date night on Saturday, which began with a gourmet dinner for two,  followed by a concert with family, and {second} dessert and coffee after that.

I absolutely revealed to everyone in the restaurant that I don't get to eat these sorts of meals regularly by photographing almost everything that arrived at the table {I forgot to take pics of our salads.} 

So on to the pics...

freshly made bread and oil for dipping

We shared a bottle of Pinot Grigio and enjoyed our appetizers...

Wedge Salad

Oven dried tomatoes/house smoked bacon/warm blue cheese vinaigrette

Caesar Salad

Parmesan-Peppercorn Vinaigrette/Croutons/Grated Parmesan

Our waiter was experienced in that he gave us plenty of time after the appetizers and salads to talk, drink some more wine, have another piece of bread and let that food settle before bringing the main dishes.  We SO appreciated that.
