So I was supposed to work at the Mint last night but they were not busy enough so they did not need me....I had worn a black dress to work and some sassy wedge heels and felt I couldn't just go home so.....David met me at the Mint for a glass of champagne, we feasted on a yummy scallop appetizer and from there we walked down the street to Sono. Sono is a wonderful new sushi/asian fusion restaurant. I had read an article about the place a couple weeks ago and was dying to try one of their bloody mary martinis made with zing zang,wasabi,splash of soy sauce and julienned cucumbers...YES it is as good as it sounds. We started off with shrimp and vegetable tempura. I got the Screaming "O" roll (hee hee) which is spicy tuna & tempura shrimp with seared tuna on top served with a creamy "O" sauce (I have no idea what the sauce is, but it lived up to it's name!). David got the Crunchy Diablo roll which had a spicy crab salad,avocado,cream cheese & jalapeno dusted in panko & deep fried topped with spicy mayo & eel sauce. We sat at the shiny black bar with our drinks, very cosmopolitan, still dressed in our savvy work clothes. For a minute we felt like we weren't even in Raleigh.... the downtown area is getting so built up with great restaurants, I can't wait to see it in a couple years!
I truly feel like I have found my "settling" place in Raleigh of course I think wherever David is I will be settled. It was a super, unexpected date...the best kind!
