Dinner Was Great

I had French onion soup, crabcakes, and chocolate souffle. Jim got the asparagus soup, salmon, and profiteroles. We had champagne with our soup; chardonnay with our entrees; and complimentary champagne with cassis with desert. It was a lovely evening. The restaurant had printed up special menus that said "Happy Anniversary, Jim and Pat." The ambience was pleasant; the staff and service warm and friendly. The food was very good, though not quite up to 1789 quality. We ate early enough for the pre-theater special prices, though, so it was very good value for the money. We had 6 o'clock reservations, but after finishing painting the chairs and table - yes, we stayed awake and finished! - we were both hungry so we got there about 5:30. We took our time with dinner, though, and were not hurried by the staff, either, so we didn't finish until well after 7. While we were waiting for our check, another couple got up to leave and the man stopped at our table and asked if he had (over)heard correctly that it was our 22nd anniversary. Jim said yes and the man shook his hand and said, "Congratulations! Ours is in two weeks." The evening weather was still beautiful. So afterwards we sat outside at a table for a few minutes just enjoying the night. Then we walked around the Bethesda neighborhood a little and scoped out the menus on the million and two other restaurants in the area for future reference before we called it a night.
