Hi Everyone,
Where…read moredo you go for forty-seven? "Comon Man", for 47? Forty-seven year old Birthday? Nah...forty-seven years of Wedded Bliss, if that even exists, in OZ?
Gentleman, in my opinion here, you have to be careful to make it, a very memorable evening, enjoyed by all, but not to fantastic, or over the top, because then, what do you do, to top it, for the 50th?
Yes, hope does spring eternal, my love, when you are so throughly happy!
But where to go?
Truffles Cafe to the rescue!
Hun, Honey? Are you sure you want to go there for our Anniversary? "Yes, I really do as I have always wanted to try it." Done! If my muse is happy, I adjust my aura as that puts us both in the Zen zone, together.
But who to accompany you, and the love of your existence? A couple, with which you both enjoy sharing your life's events as they are a lot of fun.
In our opinion, the word "Cafe", in Truffles name is a misnomer. And I get it, with their Parmesan Truffle Fries, and Baked Brie appies, or Chicken Pot Pie and Grilled Meatloaf, entrees, ok, Cafe. However It clearly does not convey the breath, strength, and depth of this excellent restaurants' fare, service, and well appointed, pleasant, and soothing ambiance.
All, but one of our meals were exceptional. Our Tuna Wonton appetizer was a tastebud lollapalozer. Yes, yes, yes, again, and again, please. Their Caesar Salad was very tasty. Then followed by the Mango glazed Salmon was delisheoso. Translation, order it, and savory each bite of this wonderful meal. Their Fresh Catch was Halibut which was fantastically prepared, and season oh so nice, you should have it twice. Their Full Rack of Baby Back's with their savory, tastebud thrilling, tangy, BBQ sauce, fell apart in my mouth, and were a thrill to consume with the delightful glass of Cabernet, I chose. Similar, but nothing like being a part, our shared essence, like our forty-seven years of joy, laughter, pleasure, commitment, and passionately expressed love for each other, which is never misunderstood, because it comes from the very fiber of our beings! Ya can't fake, great!
The exception to our Anniversary ballgame score, Sports Fans was the Grilled Tuna as the male, in our terrific friends couple, felt it was over cooked, and did not deliver the taste, nor texture we were all enjoying in each of our taste centric appetisers, salads, and entrees. Keeping score, well at this point, it is 6-1, but we are not done!
Our service was very good, meaning, pleasant, polite, and efficient and would have qualified as outstanding, except... later, below.
Truffles Cafe's own Key Lime Pie which we shared (did I mention the FULL Rack of Ribs?) was mouth watering, smooth, with a sinful, flavor that dares you to remain good. I wish you well with your conflict. We gave in, and feel so much better for it, in our failure to be good. Billy Joel's lyric I feel said it best, "I'd rather laugh with the sinners, than cry with the Saints, the sinners are much more fun," so be bad, it's only desert, Pilates will there tomorrow. The Blondie, we were told was delicious with its competing chocolate and caramel sauces putting your tastebuds squarely, in flavor-town.
Ok Sports Fans, we can update our score at 9-1.5. What?
Well, in my opinion, one thing that Truffles Cafe needs to fix today, is the way our bill was presented. I we received no itemized receipt at all, but only a total with sales tax and a request for our form of payment, which, in our opinion, is not professional. It was our 47th Wedding Anniversary, so I decided to let it go. But again, in my opinion, this should never happen.
But back to our ball game Anniversary score, and "Mighty Casey at The Bat", hit a Grand Slam somewhere in downtown Mudville. So there is tremendous joy, a longing to return to all that fun, and most especially to reacquaint, while emerging ourselves in all that delicious fare.
So we invite all of you to try Truffles Cafe in Bluffton, SC, as we feel when you add up your own score, you will find it is a win for you and yours.
So be there or be square! Know what I mean, Jellybean?
Enjoy!
