Since Daryle was in Chicago on his birthday, we wanted to go out for a fun special meal to celebrate. How could you go wrong with a fun place like this where you can watch them prepare your food and flip shrimp tails into their hats, right?! Well I'll tell you how....
1. Do NOT settle for "the last open" reservation at 8:45 pm on a Friday night when your children have been up and going strong all day and just swam and played for 2 hours in a pool, and neither parent has slept more than a few hours the night before. We were not seated till 9:15, 2 of the kids burst into tears at random moments, Rea fell ASLEEP in her chair mid-meal, and All of them were more interested in finally GETTING their food than watching them burn it on the grill. (sigh)
2. Do NOT eat at a place where you are seated with perfect strangers and expect to feel comfortable and at ease. It was strange and weird. I just wanted to eat with my family and have a little privacy - I guess I wasn't feeling adventurous at that point. The next time you think to yourself, "I just want to order pizza and rent a movie in our room," DO IT!!! The evening will go much smoother. :)
3. Did I mention the gastric gut-rot that followed? OK then, I won't...
