I hope all of you love birds had a sweet treat for Valentine's Day! I had a great time. Last year Ryan surprised me with a dinner date at Roys Hawaiian Fusion in La Jolla...so this year, I surprised him with a dinner date at Roppongi in La Jolla. We love fine dining and it's so fun to get to dress up once in a while, at least for me.
Ryan loves sushi so this is essential why I brought him to Roppoingi since they are well known for their unique Asian cuisine and sushi bar. To my surprise Ryan didn't ordered sushi, at all, but it's okay. The important thing for me was that he enjoyed the location and had a great time. And he did!
So our own quick restaurant review..."the food was good and the service was great. for some reason I was not all that impressed with my meal, but it could be that i had really high expectations, especially for what we paid. we are willing to back, but this time we are definitely trying the sushi. the price for this date was $$$, be prepared. how can i forgot, the dessert pictured was also just okay, a chocolate molten cake with raspberry sorbet (taken by me with my new Cannon Rebel from ryan which I got for my bday just days ago...2/9)."
Anyway, so how can you ensure you have a Sweet Treat for Valentine's Day in 2010? Here are some tips you might find useful and keep in mind, a Sweet Treat can be anything to you if you know what I mean:
- Book a reservation, NOW...just kidding, well somewhat. Seriously book as soon as possible because restaurants, hotels, and other romantic services book fast for Valentine's Day. Try opentable.com an online restaurant reservation service. I recently started using them and it's way easy to use. They even offer special promotions and invitations.
- Before your reserve a location, if you have not been there do some research. Read the reviews and ask your circle of friends if they've ever been there or done that. The responses you receive will help you make a decision.
- Gentlemen, almost every woman loves flowers...if anything they don't mind receiving them at work in front of all their friends! hint...hint...Ryan did this last year when Valentine's Day fell on a weekday, it's so sweet and you know he got his treat!
- Ladies, this is a special day for the men too. In fact, I take that back, it's a special day for the both of you. And we all know you've got to give and receive. This is the time to gear up in your best Victoria's Secret apparel. Your men will appreciate the thought you put into this part of the evening every time!
