Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too. It was time for a meal there again.  For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to  Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

A Birthday Dinner at Bridgewater Fish House and Zebra Bar in Florence, OR

I got to celebrate my birthday while we were in Florence, Oregon. I wanted a nice dinner out, so I chose the Bridgewater Fish House and Zebra Bar. It's located on Bay St. in the Old Town area of Florence. The interior was bright and spacious with large windows looking out onto Bay St. The zebra theme inside was subtle, yet notable and unique. The food and service felt more upscale than what I'm used to on the Oregon Coast. Just what this birthday girl was looking for. 

We started with drinks. We tried a delicious Pineapple Martini which we both loved. The other cocktail was a little too tart for my liking, but it was packed with Marionberries. We decided to share a salad and an entrée. The salad was just plain awesome and was packed with fresh goodies. The Mandarin Poppy Seed Salad had sweet poppy seed dressing, avocados, bleu cheese, red onion, hazelnuts, and mandarin oranges. The slice of bread that accompanied it was really special. It was a crusty warm sourdough served with butter with herbs.  

For our main dish we shared some Mac and Cheese with Salmon. Our boys had the Chicken Strips with Fries. Our Mac and Cheese was everything. It was super cheesy, hot, and filled with yummy fresh salmon. 

We skipped dessert at the restaurant because we had purchased some cake at Safeway for my birthday treat. I've always loved the cake from Safeway. It sounds crazy but I just like the soft cake and thick and sweet frosting they use. My son helped me pick out two desserts. He chose a slice of Confetti Birthday Cake and I chose a cupcake with green frosting with a butterfly and unicorn. The four of us shared the two pieces of cake. It was a birthday filled with fun, travel, family, and really tasty food!
