Jen and Andy took us to a fancy place for dinner...white linen tablecloths, black linen napkins folded just so, heavy silverware with multiple knives and forks, lead crystal glasses properly weighted at the bottom. I suppose I should have dressed up...Jen said It is kinda a fancy place Mom...I thought my parka and snow boots would cover the fact that I was wearing sweatpants. Whatever!
It is a 1940's style Steakhouse. The booth was private and cozy, the booth just plush enough.
The steaks were nicely done, they bring the sides family style so you can share. We had a salad and French Fries...Andy ordered Sliced Tomato & Burrata. They bring you steak sauce in a tiny metal cup that probably has a special name. The server was pleasant and filled the water glasses several times...she wasn't real neat when she poured.
The drinks as they came out of the bar looked pretty and I wondered what they were.
It was a nice evening out! It was a Thanks for looking after Sadie while we were gone meal!

Aw, that was nice. Glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed your posts about Sadie.
Eating out is the best gift. You appreciate it so much when nothing you cook is good anymore. As we come to the last mile of our way, we see what are the best gifts. Food for the mind and body nourish us.
It sounds like a wonderful dinner out and a perfect thank you. Not that you probably needed or expected a thank you for watching sweet Sadie. I haven't been to a nice steakhouse in years. A nice prime rib sounds delicious right now.
Blessings,

It is nice to get out and be treated like a queen sometimes! You have sweet kids who definitely do a thank-you very well.
I knew very early on that I would never be able to serve food and beverages in a restaurant. I am seldom able to pour anything without slopping some of it. It would be a disaster. Sounds like you had a wonderful meal.
Very nice! And you made me laugh.
that sounds fun! And was a special night!
It's a good idea to eat at a decent restaurant from time to time even if it's to find out what we're missing.
How wonderful! A fancy dinner out was one of the items on my covid bucket list "once I can leave this stinking house". Unfortunately I have not been able to locate anything as near as nice as the one you enjoyed. I can still fit into my last "mother of the groom" dress and would like to do at least one fancy outing while it still fits.
This sounds a lot like the steak house we went to for Jill's birthday, sort of old style and the emphasis was definitely on the MEAT! I'm glad you enjoyed it, even in your sweat pants. :-)
A 1940's style Steakhouse sounds wonderful! I miss the old style restaurants. That was a lovely thank you gift.
How lovely that you got out! It sounds beautiful and my mouth is watering.
What a lovely way for them to say thankyou :)
That sounds like a special dinner!!
Sounds like a good time
Fancy! What a nice thank you! :)
Very nice. Glad you enjoyed.
Sounds like a really nice meal out. What fun!
Fancy dinner! How great. Aren't sweat pants in fashion??? LOL!
Sounds like a real treat.Sadie probably figured she rated at least a Doggy Bag for keeping you two entertained while your daughter was gone! Isn’t it wonderful that we can eat in restaurants again (at least for a little while)?
What a wonderful thank you! I'm with you...I would be hard pressed to dress up and I really don't ever want to anymore.
There's nothing like dining in a fancy restaurant to make one feel special and appreciated. Even if the waitress was a spilly pants!
Olive Garden will be as fancy as we get for my birthday. I can't eat pasta but the service is great. Steak and salad will take care of me and my wife can eat anything she wants.
I don't go much for dressing all fancy either. LOL! Glad you enjoyed though.
