Review/Date Night at Ida Claire

My date made reservations for us to sit outside on the patio.  This actually was a pretty great place for a date night.  The scenery on the patio was nice, the lighting was dim, very perfect for a sexy date.   The food here is kinda hit or miss though in my opinion.  Think of the food as boogie meets somebody's country aunt who is still learning to cook.  My date ordered chicken and waffles, and he seemed very pleased.  I ordered the ancient grain and shrimp bowl, minus the shrimp and feta cheese (keeping in line with vegan life) and I ordered the fried green tomatoes in an attempt to replace the shrimp..  Which was a bad idea.  The fried green tomatoes were slimy and just gross.  My date tried them also and he almost threw up...  But the ancient grain bowl alone was delicious.  It put me in the mind frame of fancy, boogie trail mix.  I love trail mix..  Also the drinks were damn good.  We both had hurricane...

Friday Happy Hour at Kona Grill in Plano... My thoughts..

I know as of late this place has been known to be one of the Friday Happy Hour hot spots, but for me, it just is not up to par. First off, when you come in, they have all the tables already reserved. Its a happy hour... People come to unwind after work. They treat it more like a club atmosphere. Then they have the entire front row of parking spaces blocked off for valet purposes.. Again, it is supposed to be a Happy Hour, you just want to get in, unwind with some cold drinks, network, have fun, and leave. I've been to this place other times and it was a pleasant experience. I'm vegan and can still find things to eat here. The drinks are pretty water'd down and overpriced though, but the presentation is nice. The atmosphere, however is nice and swanky so for a date, maybe a first date, its an ok place.  But that Friday happy hour, no bueno! My recent visit here was for somewhat of a date, I had planned to meet a friend, and I did, but the place was so uncomfortab...
