All good dinners should end in wine...

After dropping Mike off at his grandparents Jen and I decided to pick up Cam and head over to Stillwater for dinner. Jen and I decided it would be most efficent to drop me off to get the table while she ran back to pick up Cam.

Once I stepped out of the van I knew it would be a wait for the dinner. I shouldered my way to the counter and politely requested a table for 3 in the 'non choking' section. The nice lady behind the counter, who couldn't have been over 16, informed me that it would be at least 1 hour and 20 minuets for a table but probably closer to 1 hour 45 minuets. Stepping out into the parking lot I called Cam's phone and we decided to head to the Olive Garden for dinner. (Stillwater and Olive Garden are the only places we have gift cards for.)

After a 'quick' drive to Novi we stopped into Olive Garden and was informed it would be at least 30 minuets for a table. Even with the drive time, and wait we still get to eat at least 45 minuets before Stillwater.

The service was okay, seems like the Novi Olive Garden gets worse every time we go there. The waiter seems a little on the slow side, and not very bright. But at least the food came out right. And it was yummy.

By the end of the night as we where getting ready to leave the entertainment arrived. By the way of a waiter accidentally dropping a bottle of wine on a costumers head. I guess he knocked it off the shelf. Everybody was apologetic to her, in the end they ended up having to pay for her visit to the hospital for the bump on her head. I could over hear most of the conversation. The lady informed the manager that she wasn't sure if she was okay or not because she had 4 or 5 glasses of wine and her head was fuzzy to begin with.
