Cool River Cafe : 3 of 5
3.29.2005 6:17 PM \| Link	This was definitely an unexpected experience! I swear I had heard the name Cool River Cafe used in the same sentence with the phrases "fun place" and "happy hour". So, my parents and I showed up in casual attire and quickly realized this was a full-blown crumb-scraper restaurant! (As you know, the really fancy places scrape your crumbs away between courses!) We decided to tough it out, and I enjoyed the rich settings, with giant paintings and blazing fireplaces. Our waiter told us about a wine "special", so I ordered semi-expensive glasses for Mom and I. It was much better than I expected - I'll have to drink Pine Ridge Chardonnay on my own sometime! I had mahi, which was prepared with a kind of tomato sauce, bacon, and shrimp - really delicious, but not very light. Dad had some nice chicken, and Mom had a salad consisting of half a head of iceberg lettuce. Even though we were looking for a different kind of dinner, we still had a good time. I really enjoyed the wine and my meal, I just have to remember what to expect if I go back again! Labels: restaurants
