Not So Much

After fighting to find a parking spot in Legacy Place, Matt and I finally made it to

The restaurant was interesting looking but VERY LOUD

Matt and I had a seat on the upper level – the one downside – the table.  We were sitting next to each other.  I HATE THAT.  It was hard to have a conversation – I like to look at the person I am having a talking to.  I was so distracted by the goings on below, it was hard to stay focused. 

I got a 2 oz pour of Chardonnay to start my evening

For an appetizer, Matt and I split the Rhode Island style fried Calamari

The calamari wasn’t bad – not the best I’ve ever had.  Sadly, it ended up being the highlight of our dinner.  Matt described the calamari as “delicious.”

For my dinner, surprise surprise, I got grilled scallops with onion straws and mashed sweet potatoes

I was so excited for scallops but they had such a strong “grilled” flavor that was all I could taste.  The scallops didn’t have the normal scallop flavor; they were not very good. I did enjoy the onion straws and the mashed sweet potatoes were good but not great. 

Our service wasn’t great either and we were never told the specials of the evening – but the table next to us was. 

Both Matt and I agreed that Legal C bar was highly disappointing.  In fact, it is a place we wouldn’t go again. 

After spending some quality time in Whole Foods, Matt and I ended our night on a good note at

 J.P. Licks has been on my “places to visit” list for a long time.  I have read so much about it on other food blogs.  I was excited to finally try it tonight.

I got a small coffee soft serve with M&Ms and crumbled Oreos

At first, I thought the coffee flavor tasted fake.  Then it grew on me.  A lot.  In fact, I was kinds sad when I finished my ice cream.  J.P. Licks is a place I would go again.

Time to watch some TV and go to bed – lots of work to do tomorrow!
