Princess Magpie's birthday dinner

A few months ago, I came to the realization that it had been over a year since we had ordered takeout or went out to dinner and even the last few times we did it was from the same couple of places. So I made it my mission to include in our budget a treat with every payday. Most times it is simply to order a pizza or something but we have to try all the places in town that we havn't tried yet. It has been fun and we have discovered some great places. (some of which everyone else but us has already discovered. LOL)

So Princess Magpie's birthday is in a couple of days and we decided to go out last night to celebrate. It was a Saturday night and it felt like a good night to celebrate her birthday instead of a weeknight. We wanted to go out to dinner and we debated back and forth over all the places in town that we have never been.

In the end, we decided to try Boston Pizza. Prince Charming has always had a rule that if a place has pizza in the name, you should order pizza from them. But I have to tell you, Boston Pizza is a bit of misnomer, because when we looked at the menu we were amazed. It was HUGE! None of us ordered Pizza and we were amazed at the quanity and quality of food that we received. We decided to splurge and order whatever sounded good and not worry so much about price just this once. Prince Charming ordered lobster ravioli and I ordered a lobster wrap. Princess Belle was thrilled to be able to order her favorite chicken strips and fries and Princess Magpie had fries (which was such a large order that Prince Charming shared them with her.)

The food was fabulous. Our waiter, Jeremy was extremely informative, friendly and helpful. He was great in advising us on the menu when we had questions regarding our orders. After our meal we wanted to order some little dessert to give Princess Magpie and sing her Happy Birthday. Jeremy offered to split an adult sized brownie onto two plates (one for each Princess). We did that and truthfully we all ended up sharing the dessert. It was wonderful.

And what amazed us the most was the bill. It came to less than the last two times we ordered delivery and we ordered LOBSTER! It was such a fun, amazing, surprising experience that I had to come home and share it with you all.
