Wine and Dine – the last experience

It feels like forever ago that we were able to pick any restaurant in the area, sit down, order a drink and a meal, and have a full dining experience with good company. Now, our restaurant options are limited to delivery, takeout, and fast food, and not to mention some of your favorite spots may be temporarily closed. For my fellow foodies who love to go out and get that full dining experience like myself, how are you dealing with this? And do you even remember the last time you actually ate at a restaurant? Well.. heres mine.

The week that everything started closing, was spring break. College students all over were forced to make a decision, go on spring break still, or cancel and hope to get your money back. I was one of the stubborn ones. I had been planning my trip to California with my boyfriend for sometime now and I was not going to give It up. I made reservations for restaurants at SUR and Saddle Ranch and I could’ve given you guys reviews for these places but unfortunately, we never had the chance to go..

It felt like the second we landed in LA, we should’ve turned around and went home. Our reservations were being cancelled as well as activities we scheduled which was extremely disappointing. However, eager and hopeful that something would still be open, we found ONE place that was still open for dining in the first night we were there. It was the Daily Grill located inside of a Marriott hotel in Burbank, California. There must have been less than 10 people in the entire restaurant, so you can assume how the atmosphere was.. I ordered this cheesy pasta dish with jumbo shrimp (I don’t remember the name of It) and my boyfriend also ordered a pasta dish (different from mine). We also had wine and a loaded french fry appetizer. Although the food was delicious, I remember It being a little pricy and the overall experience was just gloomy.

Although we were upset with the circumstances of the times, we were still able to make the most of our trip and enjoy what we did do.

So.. do you remember your last restaurant dining experience? Share and comment below!! I’d love to hear about It!

P.S. – we ate a lot of fast food and delivery.. In Cali!!! so disappointing (WHOOPS)
