Folk's Folley: a night to remember

Folk's Folley was a dinner to remember. When Lawson returned home at 5:30pm, I donned a dress and wrote some emails to people while waiting to leave. At 6:10, Lawson convinced our dog to jump in his lap and when she did, he took her to the crate. By 6:12, I had DH help me put on my necklace and we went out the door by 6:15pm after saying, "Kit, we love you and we'll be back soon!" It only took 30 minutes to drive to the restaurant. Upon arrival, we pulled into the parking lot by the front door and a 17 year old guy opened the car door for me, took our keys and parked the Jeep for us as we walked through glass doors. Talk about service! At the front desk, very friendly women welcomed us and a waitress led Lawson and I to a secluded table by two windows. The room was dimmed with candles glowing at each table. For an appetizer, we ordered some fried pickles and then Lawson ordered steak medalions with three different type of sauces while I chose a petite sirloin cooked butterfly style. For sides, we selected seasoned potatoes and artichokes with a sauce on them. While waiting for the food, we tried some of the bread brought to us. It might have been French bread. The meal was scrumptious and well worth the money. Lawson commented that if we go again, we'll make sure to order dinner in the "cellar" where a pianist plays. The funny thing about the "cellar" is that it is not a true cellar at all. The space is level with the street outside and you only step down two steps to be in the "cellar." This is where we had desert which was a chocolate brownie with almonds and vanilla ice cream. Ours arrived with a lit candle and the waitress stated happily that desert "was on us in celebration of our anniversary." The atmosphere in the cellar was happily cheery with two different pianists, one of which was a woman whose voice could have fit perfectly on N.P.R. She in fact, walked over to our table to wish us happy anniversary. After leaving and tipping the valet boy, we traveled five minutes down Poplar to retrieve our umbrella left accidentally a couple of weeks ago at Sarah's house. Folk's Folley was definitely a dinner and night to remember!
