Although I didn't think to bring my camera last night, I thought it would be a good blog entry. My wonderful husband surprised me a few weeks ago with news that he had gotten tickets for one of my favorite artists, Shawn Colvin. We started the evening with a fabulous dinner at a new restaurant called 1300 Fillmore. As their website states, this lovely restaurant serves "soulfully American food." Dave and I started with fresh corn bread with honey butter and a chili jelly as well as fresh shrimp hush puppies. My entree was the slow braised beef short ribs with chive buttermilk mashed potatoes and swiss chard topped with a couple of onion rings. Dave had the organic black skillet fried chicken with truffle whipped potatoes and gravy. Just to put us over the top, we ordered a side of macaroni and cheese to share. Needless to say, we did not order dessert as we couldn't finish even what we had ordered. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and the food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

It was all acoustic with just Shawn and her guitar. She has a truly amazing voice. Thank you to my husband for a wonderful date night!
