Perfect

Amazing night last night. For you Connecticut people that have not been to Max' Downtown....GO! The service was literally impeccable. Started off with a dozen oysters that I almost choked to death on the last one. Well..not really - a lot of shells. Then had this amazing sshimi tuna with a pickled cucumber salad. So fresh. Very good. I got the duck (medium rare. Gotta have it pink in the middle), with a pomegranite sauce. It had this little thing on the side stuffed with apple cinnamon stuff and a salad with mandarin oranges. I swear the duck melted in your mouth. Not even exagerating. Bryan got a steak with chipolte sauce and these little onion rings that were exactly what we'd all get in highschool at WB Cody's after a movie. We had a glass of wine, and finished with a creme brule trio. The couple next top us was awesiome. Married 10 yrs but youd never know. They acted like they had been togehter a year. So in love. The husband was asking if we're married..engaged..I should have looked over to see the sheer horror on Bryans face but I didn't. I always miss the good stuff. We went to Grants for a drink after and to visit my friend. A perfect night. Just what I needed.  He absolutely spoiled me. Hell..I'll do a bridal fair again if it means getting that dinner., Although I think this was a one time thing though. Haha, seriously though..I'm glad we're not one of those couples that does that all the time. Otherwise it would stop being special. I dont want to ever take going out like that for granted.

I love Max's Downtown.  We had a Lexis lunch there about a month ago (LexisNexis reps take some local law librarians out for lunch around Christmas time).  The food was unbelievable.

Glad to hear you and Bryan had a good time.

Sounds like a perfect night to me also!  A lot better than my night .

Sounds pretty high-brow...can I get fries with that duck?

I'm glad you had a good time, I wish I could do nice places.  Every once in a while it's OK, but most of the time I'm happy with something much simpler...hell half the time I'm happy staying at home and cooking myself.  I'm too picky of an eater, it's my curse!  But I agree, it's something you can't overdue or it's just not the same.

Yea it was a great night. I'm such a food addict. Not in an unhealthy way. i just love trying new foods...new flavors..all that jazz. It wasn't as snooty as I expected. It's nice to dress up every now and then. We're usually a McDonald's/stop at a rest-stop on the way home from Boston kinda couple...so it's cool every now and then. I like that it doesn't happen often. I always want it to feel special when we do stuff like that.
