Heart Day

I hope everyone had a really great Valentines Day this year! This was the best one I have ever had, thanks to Matt! :) In the morning Matt brought me home-made, strawberry, heart shaped waffles! They were so delicious, and I was so surprised - it was a great start to the day! Then later that night we went to the 1844 House for dinner and had the best meal that I have ever had! We each started with a glass of the riseling wine, which was delicious. We have tried this type of wine on a wine tour we went on over the summer and knew that we loved it. The waitress then brought out delicious bread with homemade honey butter. We ordered 1844 house salads which consisted of romaine lettuce, apple pieces, walnuts, blue cheese and a house vinagairette dressing. It was seriously one of the best salads I have ever eaten. I ordered the herb-dijon encrusted salmon, and Matt ordered a strip-streak with mashed potates. Both of our dishes were fabulous, we were so impressed. After that we ordered dessert, which was an espresso chocolate mousse. Again, it was so delicious! When the waitress brought us out the check we were given a complimentary chocolate covered strawberry. The food was seriously so good. It is a bit pricey so we can't eat there as often as we like but it was defintely worth the price.
On top of the food, the ambiance of the restaurant was also really cool. There was a woman who walked around playing the violin. There was also a magician there who acting as the house entertainer. He was very good and at first we were hoping he wouldn't come bother us but after he did his magic tricks we were glad he stopped by. Overall, the perfect Valentines Day. :)
