We were so excited for the date to come, and Wednesday it finally did. We had a wonderful dinner at the Capital Grille followed by our first live show by comic Kathy Griffin!
After work we stopped out for dinner at the Capital Grille. Neither of us had been there for dinner before (Jeff had had lunch there once before). We were seated promptly and introduced to our waiter, Michael. We started with an incredible bottle of Bordeaux, Chateau de Pez. It was the first time I’ve had a bottle of wine decanted at the table…it was a treat! The boquet really opened up, and the flavor was incredible. Then, I had the Lobster Bisque. It was thicker in consistency than I was expecting, but had a great flavor and quite a bit of lobster meat. We followed up with a Delmonico and a Steak au Poivre and a fresh-cut-from-the-cob sweet corn side dish. All were excellent! And Michael did a fantastic job.
We left dinner just in time to get into our seats before the show started. Kathy came out right on time and gave a great show. She was funny as usual, with new material. What I think I liked most was how “natural” she seemed to be up there. It was almost like being at a party where there was a funny guest who loves to tell stories. She’s really comfortable on stage, and she’s doing what she seems to be meant to do. Her tour is pretty big…so go see her if you can!
