"You'll never guess what I just did in the bathroom?" These are not always the words you want to hear when you are out on a date night with your hubby and friends.
It was a rainy evening, we literally felt like it was raining cats and dogs. Canceling our evening out with friends even crossed my mind and later I find out it crossed their minds too. But we decided to brave the weather and head out on our date night adventure. We get to the restaurant and because of the weather decided to park in a parking garage behind the restaurant. Thankfully the restaurant had a rear entrance. The rear entrance was a disappointment to our friend D who really wanted the experience of entering through the ornate doors of the Mexican restaurant we were eating at. After entering in the back of the restaurant we walked to the front and walked outside in the rain and back in the front door so D could have the "experience". He is all about the atmosphere.
After being seated and ordering our food and drinks we were entertained by the appetizer we ordered. Tableside Guacamole. They make it and mix it fresh right at your table (yum)!!! D & T are not big fans of guacamole but tried it and were pleasantly surprised.We were all commenting about the atmosphere of this restaurant, Two Senoritas. Even though not all of the staff is hispanic it still lends to the feeling that you could be in a nice mexican restaurant in mexico. The food is good and depending on what you order it could lend itself to thinkng that they might take some shortcuts from a can. But all in all it was good.
Luckily the rain had stopped and we ventured out the back door to get to the parking garage. I guess we forgot how far up in the garage we parked because 10 flights later we finally reached the top. Out of breath, laughing and figuring we burned all the calories we just ate, we headed to do what we do everytime we get together with D & T. We went to Starbucks. Now going to Starbucks can sometimes be an adventure in itself, but this night D added a whole new twist to it. What is the first thing you do after you enter Starbucks? (well not maybe everybody, I must have just had too much tea to drink), go to the bathroom. I head off to the bathroom while my hubby ordered my favorite, a venti calm tea with three honeys and ten ice cubes. After I came out of the bathroom D was missing and T was waiting to use the ladies room too. T came out and we are waiting for D when he emerges buttoning his shirt. We are thinking "what are you doing?" when those words came out " You'll never guess what I just did in the bathroom?" His story continues. "I was in the bathroom and I started unbuttoning my shirt like I was getting ready for bed like I do every evening, and then I realized what I was doing and where I was." You just gotta love D!!! If I would have done something like that I don't think I would have told anybody because I would have been too embarassed. D was willing to bare his bathroom hijinks and be transparent and give us a great laugh for the evening.
We figured why not let others in on the fun and do a date night blog and a date night idea facebook page. Along with that we would rate restaurants (Thanks to D) by buttons. 1 being bad and 5 being great. We will fill you in on the fun places to go and do for a date night a date afternoon or a date morning. Right here in our beautiful town of Sarasota. we might also include places that are within an hour of here too.
So now for our rating of Two Senoritas.
Parking: 4 buttons (the parking garage in the back makes it much easier than the front)
Atmosphere: 5 Buttons (great mexican feel)
Food: 3 1/2 Buttons
Service: 5 Buttons (The waitress did not miss a beat)
The next time you go to Two Senoritas. Let us know what you think.
