When we decide to go out to eat in this household it becomes more of a chore than a good time like it should be. We can never decide on a place nor can we agree. "I had pizza for lunch", "Well I had Mexican yesterday" seems to always be common things we hear.
Last night I had a WONDERFUL girls night out with a good friend. I had purchased gift certificates at Restaurants.com for a deep discount of 50% off or more to several places we had never tried here locally and I thought this would be a fun experiment with my friends and family!
So last night Angela and I went to eat in downtown Oklahoma City at Bolero Tapas Bar & Grill a place I had purchased a $25 gift certificate for only $10 on Restaurants.com. It was FANTASTIC! We had several Tapas - small dishes traditionally served with wine. They are meant to be shared and offer a great conversation piece between you and your dining partners as well as others in the restaurant. Which we found the latter to be so very true we had people at several tables around us asking "ooh what is that?" and we did the same as the food was brought out.
We had:
Mojitos to drink.. yummy but seriously our entrees included:

| Honey Paprika Pork Tenderloin |

| Rock Shrimp |
and Sizzling Scallops and Empanadas stuffed with Pollo Rojo. Desserts were Raspberry Gelato for myself and Flourless chocolate cake for Angela.
The entire meal was so much more than we expected! I will definitely go back in a heartbeat! I loved the Tapas idea and not only was the food spectacular the service was topnotch!
So you are sitting here reading this thinking why in the heck did Spoilfield Wife tell me about her yummy dinner last night? Well a couple of reasons....
First I made reservations with Open Table and we were seated immediately. This is a FREE online service I have been using for years and so many people don't even realize it is there, plus there are more restaurants on there than you would probably think and they have MOBILE APPS!!!! WooHoo!!!!! Check it out and no I am not be paid to mention them or anything on this post just sharing some good food, and great websites and apps plus discounts with you :-)
Secondly and most importantly the big question "What's for Dinner" through today only you can save 50% on your Restaurants.com purchase and you can search for restaurants close to you. Just use code FRESH when you check out! My certificate last night was for $25 off any $50 or more purchase so needless to say Angela and I had a much need girls night out at a wonderful restaurant with great food and saved some $$ at the same time! Oh and BTW I purchased that $25 gift certificate for $10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you are having a wonderful restful and safe Labor Day Weekend!
