Second Anniversary - Ombi & Dueling Pianos
What a wonderful anniversary! To the left is a picture from last night of us at dinner. Yendis and I have been together (as a couple, not married) for 2 years officially. We have a son who is almost one year old and have a pretty great relationship. I think she's strange sometimes but she thinks I'm strange sometimes but I guess everybody does that. We get along well and work out issues easily. We are a very compatible couple. She helps me when I'm down and I help her when I'm down.
Let's get in to last night. We ended up making reservations and Ombi on Elliston Place in Nashville. The restaurant had a great little environment. They had good lighting, interior and it was small but not too small. Yes, the dishes were somewhat expensive. We had two appetizers, then I had a shrimp entree and Yendis had the Swordfish entree. Afterwards we both had Creme Brulee (not sure if my spelling is accurate). The presentation and everything was excellent. We also had a bottle of wine. I'm not much of a wine expert. It was a full-bodied red wine from Spain is all I could tell you. The presentationand everything was top notch. I still have to say I like Acorn a bit better in this class of restaurant but this place is on the level for sure. We spent about $140 for tip and meal together.
After that we headed down to Broadway and went to the tourist area. We went to this place where they have dueling pianos. I uploaded some photos to flickr. It's a pretty cool place. They do covers from the past 30 years on dueling pianos. But we got them to do Lil John & Usher 'Yeah'… It was pretty fun. The bartender got on the drums to do that song and the other two backed him up on the piano. The one guy said "Nothing says hip hop like two white guys on grand pianos"… pretty funny but actually it was really good. They did all kinds of music. We drank and kept the Shiner Bock's coming. I even drank a Guinness (unusual for me). Yendis was doing cherry bombs.
I still haven't got my car window fixed from the smash and grab when my laptop go stolen last week so I was a bit cautious when it came to parking. But everything is a okay. These bums were asking for people's parking tickets as they left and then re-selling them to people that parked. What a great little hustle! (-:
