Last night we had dinner at Magnolia Grill. It's our favorite place, and we hadn't been there in a while. We couldn't get a reservation, so we decided we'd try just walking in. They have 5 or 6 tables they keep for walk-ins, so the chances of are usually good that you won't have to wait too long (and if you do, there's always the bar!). Two of the tables were open when we arrived, so we were seated right away.
We started with bottles of Bell's Two-hearted Pale Ale and then shared a tuna ceviche appetizer. Janet had striped bass and I had steelhead trout. Mine was served by the great chef himself, Ben Barker. For dessert we shared a pot de creme. We drank a bottle of Rochioli Sauvignon Blanc from the Russian River (Sonoma) with dinner.
All the food was superb, as usual. And it was nice to have a dinner out without the kids!
