Erwin

Sat. April 24, 2004

By Andy Farriester

I had to work! Alright! I’m glad that’s out of the way. I know and fully am aware of the reasons that certain businesses must remain open on certain holidays. So, I had to work. It only meant that we were unable to go and hunt Easter eggs early in the morn. What I did find was, though, was that Easter really is a day to celebrate.

What I did find, other than the food and service, was how romantic Erwin’s can be. Many times throughout the evening, I felt we were lone diners in an empty dining room. Surrounded by an ever attentive staff and the soft glow of a beautiful sunset, signaling an end to a day, an end to winter and to new beginnings. Love was reaffirmed over two martini’s, two wonderful entrees and time spent catching up and goofing off. There are so many moments in this evening that I could have tried to convey or capture with words but I am selfish and chose to save those for me and my guy. I can safely assume that the next time you and yours enjoy a night here, you will want to savor those moments for yourself, as well. Until next time, eat well and love a lot.
