Tuesday of last week marked the 8th anniversary of the Wedding Of The Century (me and the CFO in case you were wondering) and last night we actually went out to celebrate the occasion. To me it feels like our wedding was about 4 months ago; the CFO would probably say 4 decades. Anyway, I thought it was a good time to take the little lady out on the town — she deserves it.
Through some good luck at work the CFO had come into possession of a gift certificate to Bluehour so that’s where we decided to dine. It was excellent, and I really can’t recommend it highly enough. I ordered the chef’s menu for myself, which actually worked out to be a great value: the CFO and I shared the cheese and dessert portions that came with my four course dinner, and she just ordered salad and an entrée. We had lamb and pork and excellent salads and cheese and so forth, and the service was exceedingly professional and the room was beautiful. In a town with as much good eating as Portland, I think Bluehour gets overlooked. But man I was glad we had that gift certificate. Even with our strategic ordering, dinner was not cheap. The drinks didn’t help the final number on the bill either . . .
