<\/a>the scene<\/p><\/div>\n
We decided on a seafood restaurant that is pretty close to our house. In the two and a half years that we have lived here, we have never gone there to eat! Both of us wanted seafood (we love seafood so much!) and decided to give this a shot.<\/p>\n
We got there and were asked if we had reservations. Noooo, I didn’t even think about it. “That will be a 40 minute wait.” “Sure!”<\/p>\n
Normally I would have balked at that and walked out. But we hardly ever go out, just us, so the theme of the night was “balls in!”, which in our house means just do it!<\/p>\n
<\/a>Hey, it's us!<\/p><\/div>\n
To help pass the time we took pictures and people watched. That’s us sitting on the very hard wooden bench in the bar\/waiting area.<\/p>\n
<\/a>His and hers<\/p><\/div>\n
That’s a picture of our piggies. Check out the black boot hawtness! Sorry that part of my cracker thigh is blinding you. I tried to tone down the brightness as best I could.<\/p>\n
Things we saw:<\/p>\n
- \n
- A guy sitting at the bar with 80s Rod Stewart hair. His name was Mike and he sold insurance. I know this because he talked really loudly.<\/li>\n
- Apparently there are still members out there, because we saw a gentleman wearing a Members Only jacket. He must have been part of the elite squad because his jacket was white! Which is a rare sight indeed.<\/li>\n
- A gentleman all dressed up looking spiffy, except for his white ankle socks which looked lovely paired with his dress shoes. Oh wait, that was my<\/em> husband. (Oh snap!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a>mmmm wine<\/p><\/div>\n
I ordered a glass of Coppola Malbec. Normally I don’t drink wine on Friday nights because of MT<\/abbr> class on Saturday mornings. But I stuck to the theme of the night and just ordered a glass since we were out. I got red because it affects me the least. White can go right to my head if I’m not careful and I saw others drinking wine and knew the pour was a big one.<\/p>\n
![\"Bread](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-21-08_bread-300x225.jpg\" "\\"ohc-11-21-08_bread\\"")
<\/a>Bread and oil<\/p><\/div>\n
Our waitress brought out some warm bread with dipping oil. The bread was yummy. The oil was just okay and actually tasted like something I make at home. Scott ordered a Sam Adam’s Winter Lager and I had a few sips of that throughout the night. It was a little too wheaty for me at first, but I started getting used to it. Don’t think I could have a whole bottle of it though.<\/p>\n

<\/a>mussels<\/p><\/div>\n
For a starter we ordered the mussels in a garlic lemon wine sauce. We figured it would be your standard-sized appetizer but were surprised at the huge pile of food! It was soooo good. The mussels were perfectly cooked which resulted in a nice smooth texture. The sauce they were in was fantastic and we started dipping our bread in there. I had two pieces of bread and stopped. I didn’t want to load up on carbs.<\/p>\n

<\/a>my choice<\/p><\/div>\n
I picked one of the specials, and had the Lobster Thermidor Mahi Mahi. As soon as I saw lobster I was hooked.<\/p>\n
![\"Scott's](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-21-08_scotts_meal-300x225.jpg\" "\\"ohc-11-21-08_scotts_meal\\"")
<\/a>Scott's plate<\/p><\/div>\n
Scott picked a stuffed longfin which had shrimp and crab on the inside with a cream sauce on top. He got rice as a side. I picked at his a bit and he had some of mine. His meal was amazing and if we go back, I would order that!<\/p>\n
