Lunardi's

I came home one evening and suggested that we go out to dinner. Rose Pink got very excited and decided to dress up, and that we should all dress up as well. We all got dressed up and then it turned out that Mr. Brown had another appointment so we dropped him off there and went to Rose Pink's favorite restaurant, Lunardi's.

And Lunardi's did not fail us. Rose Pink said that she wanted to order an appetizer, so we discussed which sort, and talked about how to do it. When the waitress came by, Rose Pink said carefully, "I'd like to order an appetizer." One of the reasons that we love Lunardi's is because the waitresses listen to our daughter, and this waitress was no exception. She glanced at me for confirmation, and said, "Which one, sweetheart?" Rose Pink ordered fried ravioli, and we all enjoyed it when it came.

We had a lovely time together practicing our high class manners and learning to use a cloth napkin, rehearsing how to eat spaghetti in a restaurant (with moderate success) and how to drink from a straw without tipping the cup. The food was good and the company was excellent. It was a great evening out. Thank you to Rose Pink for insisting that we go!
