They take reservations. I had Cathy convinced that I was unable to get a reservation for our anniversary (ostenstively due to the restaurant's popularity). I told her I found an alternative in close proximity to Summit House called "Charlie's" (I even made a fake map on Google). I printed out the real menu from the web site to make sure Cathy could eat there without worrying about her allergies. Well, she believed me.

I do not have adequate words to describe the moment, but it was very good. I felt very blessed, and Cathy... (sorry, I paused here for a long while writing this) ... Cathy makes everything beautiful. It made me cry. She was all smiles, the way she looks when everything is right with the world, and she is joyful. The ring looks good on her. I asked her, and in Cathy's own words, she was giddy and happy.
Dinner was excellent. It isn't just the atmosphere, but also the food. You know how, when you are hungry, things taste better, but when you're full things taste OK? I was getting pretty full, but dinner never stopped tasting great! Even dessert was excellent.
We spent two-and-a-half hours there, just enjoying each other. God has been very good to us. We came home and found a gift basket from Cathy's mom, with a note indicating she would be home after midnight. :-)
Cathy spent a good portion of time today showing off her ring, like she did when we got engaged. Next time you see her, she's going to want to show it to you!
And I'll be so excited to see it! It looks beautiful in the pic and I'm sure it's even better in person. I'm so glad you guys had a great evening. Good job, Lee - you planned a great evening!
ReplyDeleteMicah and I have never been to The Summt House. We'll have to go sometime...but hopefully before our 10th anniversary because that'd mean I'd have to wait 5 years!
Anyway, happy anniversary, Lee & Cathy!
Thanks! If you go, ask for Jennifer as your waitress; she was great.
ReplyDeleteWe think that Summit House is one of those places you want to go on special occassions. Prices are on their web site, so you can plan ahead of time. It's actually very reasonable for the food and experience!
That is so awesome!!! Happy Anniversary to you both and the ring does look so beautiful. You did a great job :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I've been to the Summit House. The foods is fantastic and the atmosphere is perfect for a romantic evening. Very nice Lee!
