Saturday night

Saturday night Kent and I had dinner with another couple. We’d originally planned to go to Toro, which is in the South End. We’ve heard good things about this restaurant and wanted to check it out. We’d also heard that they fill up fast and don’t take reservations so we figured if we got there at 6, we would be OK. We were wrong—even at 6 PM the restaurant was packed and we faced a 90 minute wait for a table. So we switched to Plan B and tried Persephone (warning, their web site uses music), which is close to where Kent works. I must say the food was amazing, and I even found a really cute wool hat. I’m still looking forward to trying Toro but we’ll go there on a week night when (hopefully) they aren’t so crowded.
