We were thinking of getting a bottle of wine to celebrate, but their prices were horribly expensive, for strange wines. We expected to pay a lot for a Silver Oak, Jordan or Justin, but those weren't even on the menu. Joseph Phelps seemed to be the wine of their liking, and it was SO overpriced it was lame. We decided to just have cocktails. Even if we had a few, it would be much cheaper than ordering a wine we weren't sure about. So we stuck with cocktails. John wanted a "grog" (he had one last year for my Bd and Mom and David's Ann. when we were at the Nugget, the night we saw Chris Issak) but the bartender didn't know how to make one. He wanted something with rum, so the waitress talked him into this tangerine concoction. He liked it well enough, but it wasn't his Grog (and I think he thought it was a bit "girlie"). I tried one of their special drinks as well, a Cucumber Martini. It was good, was nice and tart, but not too cucumber"y". He went to a Mai Tai after this and I went back to my Dirty Martini!
After dinner we shared a glass of Taylor Faldgate 20 Year Tawny Porto, which we both enjoyed. We had that with dessert.
We had a wonderful time, and it was great to get out just the two of us, and it was nice to have an uncrowded restaurant so we could just take our time and enjoy the wonderful atomosphere!
