My Last Supper(s)

The countdown is on... Two weeks from today, Marianna Rose Schumacher will enter the world. Time has gone so quickly the past two or three months. While I feel confident we have finished all of our little projects and that we are ready for her arrival, I am having last minute urges to plan one last night out pre-baby. We spent a long weekend in New York in January as a last fling (more to come on that) but the gourmet in me knows it may be a while before we head out to a nicer date night. So I have planned a few meals to hold me over. So where am I heading?

• Woodfire Grill- We will be celebrating Mothers Day and my father's birthday here next weekend. They are planning a special pre-fix menu but also offering the a la carte options. I have found that the food here is consistently amazing. I also like that you can have a casual blue jean dinner with friends or get all dressed up for an anniversary or special occasion. The menu seems to match this offering a decadent chef's tasting with wine parings (highly recommended) as well as a reasonable and diverse a la carte menu and wine list.
• Restaurant Eugene- I celebrated my birthday here in August and knew I wanted to come back often. We will be dining here for our last couples "date night" pre-baby. They epitomise what I think is the new model of fine dining, a lovely setting, impeccable service, creative food and a laid back atmosphere. I have been impressed each time I have visited and am looking forward to spending my last supper here!
