Neither Chad nor I can believe that a year has already gone by since we exchanged vows on the side of a mountain on the Big Island of Hawaii. The calendar, however, presents a pretty good arguement. Even though yesterday was a Monday, we managed to celebrate in style. Halfway through my day I got a fruit bouquet – YUM! The highlight of the day, however, was our dinner in the tasting room at Restaurant Eve.
Restaurant Eve’s attention to detail and caliber of service are, in my experience, unparalleled. When I made our reservations, they asked if it was a special occasion and when I told them it would be our anniversary they asked for the spelling of both of our names (we couldn’t figure out why). On our arrival, they seated us side by side for a more intimate experience (we noticed two other tables in the 34 seat tasting room were arranged the same way), and once we opened our menus we figured out why they wanted the spelling of our names.
We had a fantastic meal that was billed as 5 courses, but, counting amuse bouche, bread, palette cleansers and petit fours, came to 11 courses instead. Everything was fantastic and we even got a gift to take home!
Chad and I are looking forward to whatever adventures come our way in the next year – and all of the years that will follow.
YAY!
