Husband and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversay last night with a quick dinner at a neighborhood Bistro, Al Vento. Obviously Daughter was with us, so we ate early and we ate quickly. We started with a bruschetta of Sun-dried Tomatoe Pesto and White Beans as well as the Smoked Salmon Crostini with Marscapone and Berry Compote. Both were amazing. (Even Daughter had some of the white beans.)
For my entree I ordered the Halibut with Roasted Vegetable Salad and Tomato Vinagrette. Not so amazing. The Halibut was nicely prepared and good, but the vegetable salad was more like a pile of unchewable greens with a few cherry tomatoes mixed in. Husband ordered the Hanger Stack with Truffle Potato and Red Wine Demi. I stole a bite and it was phenomenal. Yum.
Al Vento also has great deals. They offer 1/2 price wine every day from 430 – 6pm. Every Day. And on Tuesdays they offer date night, which is 3 courses for $20. Go there. Drink wine. Eat Crostini. Enjoy.
happy *late* anniversary!
That place is awesome. I love their bread.
I don’t know if you’re familiar with Groupon or not, but Al Vento throws a deal out on there from time to time that are worth keeping an eye out for. Things like $25 for a $50 gift card.
Happy anniversary! I remember hearing your story of how he proposed…so cute! Here’s to many more (and better halibut meals…)!
It has NOT been 4 years!!! You lie! Can’t possibly be. Al Vento looks yummy. I’ll keep it in mind. Maybe someday when I’m willing to spring for a sitter…
Happy Anniversary!!!
