Valentine's Day
It was the last Valentine's Day we were only by ourselves. Next year there'll be another member to the family.
The amazing thing was that all the good restaurants in Denver and Boulder area were fully booked a week ago. We finally found this place called Hilltop Cafe and it's located in Golden. The earliest time they had open was 8:00 pm. Obviously this state is not as upper class as New York or Florida.
Food was gorgeous and the presentation of food was splendid. Our favorite appetizer was coconut battered scallop stuffed in crispy egg roll with mashed sweet potatoes. We had never had anything like that in our whole lives.
The waiters and waitresses are absent-minded people though. We never got served bread for the whole course of dinner. Not that we are bread fanatics, but it's a necessary part of a formal western style dining experience. Neither of us cared enough to ask for it though.
There was a vase with one or two fresh roses on each table and we observed that almost every couple took the vase and flower after they paid the bill. We were starting to wonder whether this was a tradition of this place to give out free vases and flowers to their customers. We didn't take the one on our table though because the waiter was cleaning while we got ready to leave.
By the time we got into the car, it started snowing. A romantic scene. Biajee was starting to wonder about what we're going to do on Valentine's night next year - we'll be stuck with Junior and order pizza takeouts...
