2 bottle of fizz: 6 months later

// November 28th, 2007 // Personal

Last night was lovely. The GGF and I headed out to Bently’s (a rather snazzy new resteraunt in Jersey which seem to specialise in oriental fusion) to celebrate.

We’ve been trying to get at least one “nice” dinner in every month, not the easiest task given our respective workloads and extra curricular commitments. This dinner was special as it marked our 6 month aniversary

Of course, being the hopeless romantic that I am (honest) I’d made sure that when we arrived at the resteraunt there would be a bottle of champagne on ice waiting for us. Sure enough, upon our arrival the bottle was chilling nicely and, upon seeing it, GGF burst out laughing and giggled her way into such a state that it was several minutes before I could get any sense out of her.

It transpires that I don’t have the monopoly on romantic, boozy gestures and she had spent most of the day trying to get through to the resteraunt to arrange for a bottle of fizz to be waiting at the table. She hadn’t managed to although I wonder if the maitre’d would have complied and given us two bottles?

The rest of the meal was amazing, I had soy squid followed by king prawn yellow curry and the GGF had sushi to start with “Funky Seabass” for her main. And the deserts … ginger hinted creme brulee, indian kulfi, honeycomb pots and chocolate brownies all washed down with a half bottle of late bottled muscat.
