Rave Restaurant Reviews

Tonight we visited a new restaurant. It was such a pleasurable experience, I just had to share. Our table was so nice, the napkin wrapped neatly around the silverware, the service impeccable. The menus were simple, but very creatively done. It was all-you-can-eat, with our server consistently refilling our spaghetti, green beans, and carrots, as well as our ice water. The prices were more than reasonable as well - we all ate for $14.50, including dessert. The best thing is, it was within walking distance!

The name of this fine establishment?


Derek's

He came up with the idea today and spent the entire afternoon setting the table, creating menus, sorting the monopoly money and getting ready his cash register, hunting up his apron and notepad, making an OPEN and CLOSED sign, setting up his microphone and amp in order to be able to call us to the table, choosing mood music, etc. He helped me cook, and actually served the plates and all the refills himself, and ate himself only after we all finished and he'd cleaned up the kitchen and did the dishes.

Be still my mommy-heart.

Oh yeah, although we paid for this terrific meal with monopoly money, we left a very real $1.00 tip on the table. :o)
