Yes i've been gone for AGES! But I really have a good excuse....wedding planning! hee hee hee.. Looks like I took a little vacation from wedding planning as soon as we booked our venue. Then it became crunch time as far as booking vendors, such as video, photo, band etc.... Anyhow..enough about wedding news. On to more exciting things... FOOD!

Awsome and I had visited a local restaurant called First Crush. Some of you might have dined there before. It's pretty cool. Awsome had made reservations on Opentable so he could get that 100 points towards what??? I think it's like a $10 diners certificate... Not bad right? Anyhow, it's right there off of O'farrell and Cyril Magnin. It's a trip cause as you enter they check you in and they lead you right to the bar. Of course, why not by time and have you spend money at the bar right??? Thank god I drink. Anyhow I ordered some kind of pineapple mimosa I think??? Something that was off their drink menu. Pretty good!!! As I was facing the outside sitting at the bar, I noticed passerbyers FEET! So it made you feel like you were underground. Kinda like Laverne and Shirley!!!! hahahhaha So NY I thought...What a pretty cool feel!!!!

We finally got seated maybe 20 minutes later and we got a corner booth which was pretty cool since there was no one to our left or in front of us. And the couple to our right was still about 1-2 feet from us. I'd have to say..that was pretty romantic. So it was worth waiting for our table. We started off w/ one appetizer which was I believe the crab cake which was GOOD!!!! And then we each had our own entrees I think??? Man I wished I had remember what it was. I know it wasn't the steak but I think it was the pork tenderloin, which I was afraid of being dry. Which it definitely wasn't. I actually liked my dish better than Awsome's, which is usually the opposite. We finally ended our dinner w/ 3 different desserts which was a better deal than just ordering one or two. Warning: THEY'RE HUGE PORTIONS!!! You think you're getting small portions...NOT!!!

Anyhow....another treat that this place had was there underground dining. There's another room plus the bathrooms downstairs which looked like the bottom floor of Bubble Lounge kinda. There's some lounge couches, some beats playin off the speakers (not sure if there's an actual dj), and then more tables to dine at. So I think the next time we go, I'm going to ask to be seated downstairs to see how that ambiance is. Hope you're experience will be as enjoyable as ours!!!!
