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 punches, and we both had more than one.  They were very tasty and they packed a punch!

Angelo & Vito's Pizzaria/ Nice quaint spot for a first date

This friday I was amongst a group of people and a discussion came up about women who are turned off by going to a place like Applebee's for a first date because its cheap.  My offering to the discussion was that, yes Applebee's for a first date can definitely be a turn off, but that there are other places that you can go for a first date that don't necessarily have to be Capital Grill or Nobu, that will still wow a woman and make for a great first impression.  Like bistro's, or cute little family owned restaurants.  Its not always about money when wowing a woman.  Creativity is key. I went to a pizzaria on Sunday that I thought would be perfect for a first date so I thought I'd share.  It was called Angelo & Vito's Pizzaria.  Its a Brooklyn styled pizzaria and it seemed great for a first date.  Its at 4520 Frankford Rd. Suite 400 in Dallas. It seemed really intimate, unassuming, the pizza was great and they even have a tv in case you wan...
