Last night was date night with My Man. We decided to go eat at one of our favorites, Canoe. It is located on the Chattahoochee River in Vinings. We got their early so we went out side to check out the bar by the river. Unfortunately it wasn’t open. I am not sure it was because it has been cold and rainy all week or because there was a wedding rehearsal dinner taking place in one of the white tents they had set up. Instead we took a walk to the gardens and went to look for the chickens.

The hens were in their run. There didn’t seem to be as many has there were the last time we saw them. They had a white Silkie and a black and white lacy. She was so pretty! Poppy would love to have a lacy buddy. Next we headed back to the restaurant and checked out the bar inside. For as many times we have been to Canoe, we have never checked out the bar inside. It was very nice. We each ordered a glass of Prosecco.

I had Canoe’s House Smoked Salmon on a Crispy Potato Cake with Vermont Goat’s Cheese for my appetizer. It was soooo good. I could have eaten another one and another. So yummy! For dinner I ordered Hickory Grilled New York Strip with Créme Fraîche Potatoes, Broccoli Rabe, Black Garlic Butter. I gave half of it to My Man since it was so big. I don’t eat steak much but I had been craving one for a few days now and decided to get it last night. I am glad I did. It was perfect!

We ended the night driving around trying to find a bar to have a drink in. Doesn’t sound like it would be hard to find does it? Yeah, well after three tries, we ended up at…no, to embarrassing and in the end, to depressing to say! But overall it was a great night.
