Food & Fashion Date Night

Yesterday Joe and I had a great dinner date at DC Coast. After completing a fun Saturday project  (pictures to come) I went all out on getting ready for our date. I took a bath, played girly music,  and even soaked in bubbles. I felt very single. Since we now have a three level home and two bathrooms we can both get ready in different places, and then meet downstairs all ready to go. It was actually very romantic and I felt a lot of anticipation. One of my favorite bloggers Joanna Goddard of A Cup of Jo, suggested meeting your significant other at the bar/restaurant rather than leaving together to spice up the evening. We were living in San Antonio at the time and there weren't many walkable restaurants (or good public transit for that matter). Now that we are in DC I have been dying to do this. On our staycation (see this post) we met at the hotel. Joe arrived just as I was getting in the elevator. I looked up and there he was, and I had butterflies. It's good that still happens. I hope to try meeting at the bar soon. 

As for what we ate, I only had my iPhone with me so I'll share those pictures later. The food was very good, and the decor was even better. DC Coast is very opulent feeling with decor featuring a nod to the 1930s. With their name on the butter and a mermaid garnish in my Fig Sidecar, I couldn't forget where we were. My drink was the most memorable decision of the evening, it was perfect. Will we go back?  No, probably not. Should you go? If you love seafood houses and "old school" dining, yes! The food,    atmosphere, and drinks will not disappoint.  

As for what I wore:

Earrings all the way to my toes: Anthropologie

With the exception of my necklace.  

This was not on purpose. 

I may need to expand my horizons a bit...

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and even better week!
