Date Night


We went on a "date" to Clifton's, a fancy place in the Keswick area. (east of Charlottesville) There is an Inn there and we ate in the restaurant which was fabulous! The menu was somewhat like tapas, though not quite as small. We selected either 3 or 4 entrees (small portions) and they would bring them out in the order you desired. So, we picked from the various selections (pasta, meat, seafood, vegetarian) and specified which one we wanted first, second, third, etc. My favorite was a chickpea pancake with salmon and avocado...the flavors mixed together so well and tasted heavenly. We weren't alone...there were about 6 other folks there from the Chemistry department and it was a dinner to honor a speaker who came to give a special lecture. But, we decided to treat it like a date!
