Jackpot!
 

Every Thursday evening my daughter and I make a special effort to go to dinner together. With her high-stress job, I feel she needs some respite, and she makes for great company, so it is a win-win situation.

We try to mix it up with the restaurants we go to so that we don't get into a rut, and tonight I suggested Italian. She agreed and suggested we go to Il Fornaio, since we had not been there in a couple years.

Somehow we got seated at the "chef's table," and all I can say is, wow.

They really made us feel special. Dinner for two, with wine, appetizers, and dessert for less than what I would spend at an Islands.

If you have an Il Fornaio near you, and have never gone, I would highly recommend it. The smoked salmon rocks. :thumbsup

That sounds like awesome dining experience

sounds like you had a good time and got to spend some time with your daughter which you can't beat!

I hope when my little guy gets your daughters age, we have the same type of relationship....rock on Baddog:thumbsup

Can't beat good food and good company.

Start now. It is well worth it. I wish I had the same relationship with my parents.

:thumbsup

nice sweet dinner :)
