Ramona & Jim: Caesar salad, 6 oz. Monroe filet
Shared: (Shrimp) Cocktail Astaire, Audrey's escargot, Lobster risotto, triple chocolate mousse, bailey's cheesecake, Concho y Toro Cabernet (2005).
Well. 5 years. Five wonderful years married, and we could not think of a better place in Waco than 135 Prime, which has now become our official anniversary dining spot. Our server, Emily, did an outstanding job, and made this special evening even more memorable that we thought possible. Best of luck on her upcoming nuptials -- we hope she will be as happy as we are!
The appetizers we shared had the taste for a super intro to the main course. The three sauces with the giant shrimp were all interesting, and we could not decide which we liked the best. The bread was soft, warm, and delicious. The escargot was good, but we have to admit we like the recipe from Le Bec Fin better.
The filets were tender, juicy, and perfectly prepared. The lobster risotto as our side dish was a great compliment, as was the wine. Thanks to 135 for the glass of bubbly in honor of our special day.
The entire meal was exquisite with only one minor flaw -- the Caesar salads were nearly tasteless. Someone forgot the anchovies!
For any special occasion, 135 Prime offers the best experience in and around Waco. Don't let the price deter you! Your partner is worth every penny!

Breakfast -- 4/4/09
Cafe Cappuccino

Ramona: orange juice, mixed berry and nut pancake, sugar-free syrup, coffee
Jim: Gingerbread waffle with sugar-free syrup, latte
Where else could we have breakfast on our 5th wedding anniversary than Cafe Cappuccino? We had our wedding breakfast there five years ago today. Ironically we ran into Jim's former dean who performed the wedding ceremony, and another friend who helped Jim see how much he loved Ramona and brought him to the realization we were meant for each other.
Oh, yes, the food. Excellent as always.

Dinner -- 04/03/09
Carino's Italian Grill

5:45 - 6:45 PM
Ramona: Caesar salad, five-meat Tuscan pasta, iced tea
Jim: Caesar salad, Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti and marinara sauce, iced tea
To kick off our fifth anniversary weekend celebration, we opted for the restaurant where we had one of our very first dates.
The food was excellent -- isn't it always when a man dines with a goddess? Jim commented that the chicken parmigiana was particularly good, with a large piece of chicken and a generous helping of spaghetti.
Ramona tried a delicious new menu item, which was described as bowtie pasta, meat sauce, Italian sausage, bacon, ham, pepperoni, onions and green bell peppers. As usual, she ended up bringing almost half of it home.
We had dessert at home tonight -- Talenti Italian gelato, Argentine dulce tres leche. If you have never tried Talenti gelatos (available at HEB on Wooded acres), they have numerous outstanding varieties. White chocolate raspberry is our favorite, although this first experience with this flavor makes it a close second. Don't let the price deter you! The taste and texture are worth every penny.
