madbakerYesterday was our 25th anniversary. We spent it like an old married couple - mostly not doing anything together during the day, because the recent rain nixed our tentative plan to go for a hike.
We used my dad's restaurant gift certificate Xmas present for dinner. We went to Acquerello, a two-Michelin-star Italian restaurant in a former chapel that still has its wood eaves overhead. They are defiantly old-school, with a dress code and the male staff in suit and ties. It wasn't fully packed, but I imagine that even when full it's possible to have a conversation without yelling. We had their four-course meal (they also offer a seven-course, but even as small bites that's usually too much food for us). Everything was impeccably plated and served. My second course was pasta with mock foie gras, and I wanted to faceplant into a large bowl of it.
Also a "budget for this" dinner, but worth it. We have a 25-year-old bottle of port that we will open this weekend as well.
