As some of you know, last night Matt and I had our first date night in a very long time.  Needless to say we had a great time.  We went to the Pacific Cafe in the city and the food was sooo yummy!  The restaurant is a popular seafood joint that we passed by so many times, and finally Matt decided it was time we checked it out.

For starters, we enjoyed a complimentary glass of white wine and of course some bread and butter.  Matt was starving, and the wine went straight to his head. :)   You could tell, because he got so chatty.  It was cute.  We ordered the calamari vinaigrette as our appetizer, which was really tasty.  For dinner I decided on the Ahi Tuna w/ Wasabi Butter and a Crab Bisque(hello, this was the bomb!).  And of all things in a SEAFOOD restaurant, Matt ordered….a Steak.  I thought it was funny considering that he always used to say, ” You can’t go to a steak restaurant and not order a steak”.  The food was delicious and cooked perfectly.  The plate lacked presentation, but heck, who cared, the food was great!  Sorry, I went off on a tangent and turned into a food critic from Iron Chef America. :)

Anyways, the night was filled with laughter, reminiscing, and just enjoying each other’s company.  We needed that.  Even the happiest of couples need that.  Its a great reminder of how much we unknowingly take our loved ones for granted, and just a great refresher for the routine we get so caught up in.  After the dinner, Matt suggested to try and do date night at least once a month.  I agreed.  I love that man. :)

P.S.  This is a special shout out to Matt’s parents for keeping Nikka a little longer so that we could enjoy this time together.  Thank you!
