lounging around

It's been nine years (to the day) since Mike and I started dating so tonight we celebrated with a relaxing dinner at the Bluestem Lounge. We've enjoyed dinner at Bluestem before but had yet to experience the laid back atmostphere of the lounge.

We chose a comfortable blue couch near a coffee table with a few recent issues of Food and Wine magazine and settled in to enjoy truffled pommes frites with sauce flight, chicken croquettes and tempura battered gulf shrimp with bitter greens. We followed this with a Spearmint Ice Cream & Kahlua Trifle Chocolate Mousse, Sponge Cake with a Sarsaparilla Marshmallow and the
Tres Leches Cake with Roasted Peaches, Brown Butter Gelee, Praline Crunch and Peach Ice Cream. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere relaxing and our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. I think it's fair to say that the Bluestem Lounge is our new favorite!
