and i had dinner at girasole in shadyside tonight. this was our second
attempt to go there and our first time eating here together. we tried
going last fall and the place was crammed full of people and spilling
up and out onto the sidewalk. the gentleman who does all the seating
took our name and told us he should be able to squeeze us in about 15
minutes since we were only two. (the restaurant is tiny) after 20
minutes of waiting and still not being called we approached him again.
he promised five more minutes and took our cell number. he called us 3
hours later!
2 hours, 30 mins after we had gotten disgusted and left.
1 hour, 30 mins after we had eaten at a nearby restaurant.
30 mins after we had left shadyside all togther.
anyways,
it wasn't so crowded this time. it had a nice atmosphere and fantastic
service but the food was only slightly above average. not sure what
the hype is about, but i'm glad a small local place is so routinely
crowded anyhow.
we
stopped for coffee afterwards, relaxed and talked. walked around
shadyside a little bit too, looking through shop windows and just
enjoying the nice weather. afterwards, we headed home, took the dogs
to the field and tossed a frisbee first for the dogs and then back and
forth between us. i'm really awful at frisbee. i've got way too much
curve in my throw. =(
