Little Fish

123 more days to go...

Nick and I had a date night at Fish tonight. Not sure if you guys recall, but 'our' restaurant use to be Little Fish (the best most adorable place ever). It would still be 'our' restaurant had it not shut down due to the building around it crumbling down. There are so many reasons to love Little Fish and I loved Little Fish for all those reasons. We were regulars there so it's nice to know everyone when you walk in. We never have to order anything, just ate whatever the chef makes that night (still haven't had a bad dish yet). And the restaurant is tiny, like 8 tables total so they serve everyone at the same time which is something I so enjoy. So, after they shut down abruptly, I was reluctant to try Fish (their sister restaurant). The atmosphere just wouldn't be the same...but push come to shove we were there tonight.

It was awesome:) They recognized us immediately and we instantly felt at home again. The food was still amazing: Oysters on the half shell, lobster spaghetti, skate with coconut rice and mussels, halibut with carrots in butternut squash soup, mahi mahi with cherries, celery root puree, smoked bacon, coffee glaze, and for dessert: raisin bread pudding with maple whipped cream and caramel sauce. Hello! And the best news was that Little Fish would reopen just a block from their original location with a similar tiny setup....yay! We have 'our' restaurant back and now we have a back up just in case.

Date night outfit was a little sundress..I heard it was going to be the last warm night of the season...cashmere cardigan and some little gray booties. Nothing fishy about that:)

Right as I walked through the front door, my sister (Jennifer aka Bean) called. (My nickname for her was Jenny Bean and eventually shortened to Bean.) Bean is in Tahiti right now doing some research which mostly sounds like an extended vacation to me. But anyways, she told me that she got to swim with wild humpback whales today! What the what?! That is just amazing. I want to swim with humpback whales...in the ocean...in Tahiti. Bean, you better find some way for that to happen again next month when I'm there (love you, miss you):)
