bento box<\/a>“). I had salmon and it was booooring. Honestly, I was still feeling crummy from a long stressful work week (like I have any other kind right?) and the sinus infection so I would have been fine with just ordering the fish tacos or something. Oh well.<\/p>\nI had a fancy chocolate cake for dinner and it was OK. I think Gene’s dessert may have been better. He won the night.

I had a BBQ chicken flat bread and a side of truffle fries. The fries were yummy and delicious, the flat bread was a disaster. The set menu for restaurant week had included lettuce wraps and I kicked myself for not ordering those! Oh well! I think Gene won that night too. We will probably go back to that area because there’s a restaurant next door that has mixed cheeseburgers and sushi. What the hell is not to love there?
