Sunday Funday

One of my very best friends in the whole entire world and I had date night last night on the downtown mall! After spending the day with our noses in books and our eyes glued to word documents, we decided it would be the perfect night to spend out on the town together... just the two of us! We met on the mall around 7:00 and set out to find a great place to have an appetizer and glass of wine. It was the perfect night... the decorations were glowing and the atmosphere was clean and crisp.

After strolling the mall ( be aware: many places are closed on Sunday nights downtown) we settled on Petit Pois, a cute and tiny little French Bistro style restaurant. The two of us had never been before and were in for quite a treat when we stepped through the doors. 

The interior space is filled with little round tables and chairs for two. There are a few seating arrangements for larger groups... but not too many! If you plan to have a larger sized group, I recommend calling ahead and giving the staff time to prepare for your arrival. 

The table top settings are simple and tasteful. Each table is adorned with a tiny pot filled with soil and grass. Little tea lights add a romantic glow to the tables as well. After arriving, our waitress brought out slices of bread from a French baguette as well as salted butter. It is the perfect amount to hold one over before the meal arrives. 

 The menu offered at Petit Pois is to die for. Offering a fairly large range of French cuisine, there is sure to be something on the menu for everyones appetite. Bessie and I each ordered a glass of wine, off the extensive and wonderfully selected wine list, and Bessie ordered a Quail salad topped with butternut squash, cucumbers, and other delicious additions! 

If you are searching for a simple yet upscale restaurant to take your girlfriend, best friend, or mom and dad, Petit Pois is the perfect choice. The setting is intimate and romantic and you feel as if the wait staff is there just for you! Even the chef wants you to have a good time...

Have a Marvelous Monday... and check back soon!
