Outstanding Food & Beverage

Due to complications (on Travis’ part) we got a late start on our departure to the restaurant but we still made our reservation.

When we arrived, we were greeted by an absolutely beautiful hostess (that was your first hint Travis, stay in school and attend CU) who gave us the option to enjoy our meal on the outside patio.

After a few twists and turns through the restaurant, we walked out onto the patio. The seating was a little cramped but the ambiance was nice.

Our waiter, Doug (not his real name) promptly greeted us and provided us with the dinner, tapas and beverage menus. After perusing the many selections of wine, I ordered a lager from a local a local brewery. The selection was made from the “Bottled Beer” section but the beer was delivered in a can. Hmmm, I most likely wouldn’t have ordered it knowing it was in a can as the aluminum typically changes the physical characteristics of the hops and alcohol bringing on a metallic taste which forces the tastebuds to go into panic mode ruin the appetite.

Now for the food: Excellent.

Here is a detailed list of our Tapas:

DÁTILES CON AJILLO:

Applewood smoked bacon wrapped Medjool dates

with lemon, garlic & butter

SPANOKOPITA:

Baked spinach & feta pastry served with lemon & tzatziki

BOMBAY Mussles:

Yellow curry, toasted garlic, roasted red peppers,

sesame seeds, white wine & cilantro

Travis also ordered the Swordfish Kabob (photo not available) for an entrée which was outstanding as well.

The food and service were unsurpassed and we will definitely be coming back. Hopefully the family will come out sometime soon so we can find another excuse to come back as well.

We contemplated ordering more Tapas but we figured that by the time the food arrived, the contents of the previous food would have settled in and we wouldn’t be able to eat it so we ordered dessert instead.

Michelle ordered the Fruit Tart. Travis ordered the Crème Brûlée and I ordered the Chocolate Almond Tower. Once again, I did not take any pictures of the desserts however, I did take a picture of Michelle’s double espresso and my double cappuccino. Michelle should have ordered a quadruple espresso so she would have got a cup bigger than a thimble.

The restaurant is a little pricey ($130 for three people - including alcoholic beverages, dessert and tip) but the quality of the food and service makes it all worth while. Enjoy!

This was today’s lunch:

Drywall Has Started!!

We got an email from Courtney (our beloved sales lady @ Richmond/American Homes) stating that the drywall material was dropped off at the new house yesterday and they will start drywalling immediately. We went by the house today to take a look. We opened the front door and immediately saw four of the laborers sitting against the wall enjoying lunch (and a bit of music). I am not sure who was more surprised to see who! I should have snapped a picture of them sitting there with jaws agape. Definitely a Kodak moment. The upstairs is almost completely drywalled since the blew in the attic insulation earlier in the week and the ground floor is about half way done. I guess that they will start the basement soon. Did I mention that we opted for the finished basement? I probably did but I like repeating it since it will be cool to have a finished basement. Michelle stated that it will be a cool place to build a fort. Oh wait, I think she said that about the master bedroom walk in clo...

Jordan Day 1

 It's been almost three years since we had payed for our trip to Jordan and Israel.  THREE FUCKING YEARS! We finally went and had a great time.   The trip lasted almost a month and we started our adventure in Amman, Jordan.  We arrived a day early so we could acclimate to the time change (nine hour difference).   We had purchased some Briggs and Riley high end luggage in hopes to carry them on the plane due to all of the recent horror stories of lost and or delayed baggage.  No such luck!  We were forced to check our bags at the gate in Denver.  If we had known our bags would have to be checked, we would have brought a lot more clothes and a much bigger suitcase.  We only brought six days of clothes (with an extra abundance of underwear and socks).   The planes were on time and we arrived in Amman a bit tired and eager to get going.   Our first hotel was the House Boutique Hotel which was really comfortable.  The hotel had a ro...

Trip To IKEA

We have been contemplating going to IKEA all last week and decided to make today “IKEA Day”. We have been looking at for a wall unit/entertainment center for the living room. The wall that we are planning on using has 111” of space available. We figured that the modular units that IKEA sells would be a good place to start. Here is a picture of what we currently have: As you can see, the wall currently looks like shit. That is about to change. So, as you know, we went to IKEA today and we found three units that we both liked. Scratch that, we actually found two that we liked and one that we kinda of sorta liked but not enough to post a picture here on my blog. Do you think you can tell which unit we bought? To help you make your choice, remember that our hardwood floors are dark and the walls are a beige color. This unit is totally modular so you can make it fit your lifestyle. We like the way that it is suspended off of the floor.     We like this one also. The glas...
