Adam surprised me this morning with the news that we were going on a date tonight. He had even called Gary to watch the kids! We haven't been on "a date" since our anniversary...which is the first week of November! We are pathetic, I know.
I have read many great reviews on the restaurant, Parallel 88, in Springdale, so we decided to give it a try. We decided to try a couple of appetizers, and four, yes four, entrees. We wanted to give the restaurant a fair review, and sometimes that can't be done with just one or two dishes. Our appetizers came and sadly we didn't like either one. The first appetizer we took one bite of and didn't eat any more of it. The second appetizer was edible, but it wasn't great.
Our waitress offered to take our picture, of course I wanted ten, we were on a date, and with such a rare occasion it needed to be documented! I hand her the camera and she steps back to take the picture. We get ready to smile and before she can snap the picture there is a loud CRASH and I see my camera slam down on the cement! It landed on the lens, completely bent it, snapped off a few pieces, and made it completely unusable! She felt so stupid, it was a total accident, but it made me sick to my stomach, if only it would have happened AFTER I had taken all of the pictures I wanted instead of having to use my camera phone! But, what's done is done, and we just had to laugh, it actually became funny to us after a while, and we couldn't stop laughing! Sad, but funny.
Our entrees arrived and they looked great. We ordered the Fillet, Ahi Tuna, Lamb Shank, and the Pork Tenderloin. It sounds like a ton of food, it may even look like it, but we didn't eat it all, and didn't enjoy it. Maybe it was the camera incident, maybe it was the food, but we won't go back. The thing that probably topped off the night was the fact that our waitress did nothing to try and take the blow of breaking my TWO month old camera! Not even an appetizer comp?!?!? Come on now!
After dinner we drove down to the Pizza Noodle, ordered a pepperoni pizza and a cheese bread, and we were happy! It is a memory that will last a lifetime, but though it sounds like a crappy night, I enjoyed every minuted of it! I desperately NEEDED a date night, thanks for the fun time A!
