So it was my birfday earlier this week and Rani wanted to take me out to dinner. Fat kid won't object. Where to go? I was feeling kind of beat from work so I decided to keep it local, we'd hit up Thai Arroy which has arguable the best Thai food this side of the mississippi. Or something. Anyway, we walked there to find it closed. Damn Mondays and their closings. So we'll settle for some pretty decent Mexican food from Blue Agave. Also closed on Mondays.
So by this point I'm getting annoyed at our luck (or should I have taken a hint?). So I say "I've always wanted to try Regi's" to which I was told "I've been there and it was terrible". Well, being the smart one I is I decided "mneh, might as well try" and being my birthday, Rani didn't object. Unfortunately.
So, we got seated at their outside but enclosed by some plastic tent thingy and heated with heaters thing area. It was kinda cool actually. So we got the lobster mac & cheese and crab dip. I never did find any lobster in the mac and cheese but it had chunks of tomato in it and was pretty good (or maybe I was just starving). The crab dip was so-so. For the main course we got the turkey and brie sandwhich and a special that had arctic char in it. The turkey brie sandwhich was pretty lame, but the arctic char was alright. It had a cucumber and vinigar salad bed which was tastie taste.
And then came dessert. I don't know if I was more annoyed at the dessert or our waiter. We were there for maybe and hour and a half and saw him three or so times. MAN. I needs me some more water, but he's no where to be found. And we had to hunt him down after we paid to find our leftovers (not because they were that good but because they meant free lunch for the next day). And then there was the dessert. Red velvet cake. It had some cream cheese frosting. And tasted like a twinkie. Thats immediately what I thought when I took a bite. This tastes like a twinkie...except I remember liking twinkies as a kid...and I don't like this. After about four bites between us it was abandoned.
Regi's...I may be back. What? Yeah well, IF it were a nice day out and IF I wanted to sit outside and IF I wanted to have a few drinks while doing so and IF I maybe also wanted an assumable mediocre salad while I did it...then yeah, I might go back. So I guess I'll probably never be back because there are other places around that I could do that at that wouldn't suck.
