PINKBUNNIESLIPPERS

So last night.
We went for my friend's birthday at a local restaurant. The food. To die for. Oh so good. I had Shrimp Scampi and it was a grand meal. Not too garlicy, not to oily, just right. There was no carb coma. You see being the frugal girl I usually frequent eating places that serve baskets of buttery garlic sticks or mountains of bread to go with the 14lbs of pasta that is called regular portion size. Not so here. Just enough homemade bread to make you want to lick the crumbs at the bottom. Just enough Scampi to tingle your taste buds.
However, as much as I liked the food the place itself was not my cup of tea.
I can't put my finger on it.
Maybe it was one of those places that was too quiet. The staff too uptight. The service not warm and friendly. It wasn't bad service just not what I like. But...it's not like I want to go and have Tuna Casserole and someone in an apron telling me "elbows off the table" but a little more interaction would be nice. Then again maybe I do want that oversized American portion of some kind of comfort food (and free refills of pop.)

What is your favorite restaurant and/or restaurant type?
