Brenton's birthday started out pretty low key. We had a pizza at home, took a walk with the dog and opened presents. (Lexi decided she needed to join in the spirit by dressing up in her birthday attire, while Brenton tried on his new shirts.) So, I told Brenton that we had surprise reservations at 8:00pm; the Price Tower. I filled B in on our little surprise just before we left, since he was the driver and all. We were both pretty excited about the Copper Restaurant since this was on our list "To Do in B-Town".
Initial impressions, as you can tell, are quite impressive. The tower lit up is beautiful. However our perspective changed a quite quickly. We were more than cozy in the compact elevator, riding up to the 15th floor. We got off and mentioned our reservations. It seemed that they were not quite ready for us; finally we were seated on the upstairs floor of the restaurant (aka: the Dungeon). We walked up the narrow staircase loving the metal poles and mesh wire. We were more excited to be seated in a cold room by ourselves (dated furniture, no music, only sounds of chatter and clanging dishes, mesh wire in front of the windows). We found ourselves feeling more than awkward as a MARRIED couple! No joke.
Brenton and I thought it would be more than worth it for the amazing food that we were going to pay a good amount for. The Chocolate Molten cake sounded delectable and looked wonderful. Hmmm...well, the texture was a little off. It tasted like a cake that had been in the oven for 5 minutes, not cake yet not quite fudge. Interesting; I know. So after five, six bites of fudge batter, I had to take a little break from the intensely rich dessert. To add excitement to the night, we had a photo shoot in between the waitress' visits. We were in and out of the Dungeon with an $18 receipt in less than 30 minutes! Don't worry; the Birthday celebration just gets better!
