Valentine's Day Dining Part 1

Because neither of us are into paying lots of money for fancy food on Valentine's day, we didn't make special dinner reservations. We did, however, partake in an excellent culinary combo pack.

Started the day at Ella's for breakfast. It was sort of an impromptu decision- we wanted breakfast, we wanted it quickly, and we didn't want to go to far to get it. Oh yes, the final criteria was decent fresh fruit for Miss Julia. It wasn't until we were actually in the car driving to the place we'd chosen that we did an about face and ended up heading to Ella's. That's probably because Ella's usually has a wait, and we were hungry after a late night Friday.

That said, once we got there and began our wait, I instantly knew we'd made a good decision. I hadn't been in a bit, and I had almost forgotten how much I like the Chicken Hash:I didn't take the photo, and it's not a fabulous representation, but man, is it good. I also had the foresight to replace the toast in the photo above with one of their fresh backed biscuits. Yum Yum Yum. What made it even better is that I haven't been eating eggs that much recently, so this was a special treat.

Julia's Orange pancakes with pear sauce were pretty good too. I think she forgot about the fresh fruit requirement when she saw that option on the menu.

Delicious food, a great start to Valentine's day- worth the wait, even though our table was a little drafty. Not an every-weekend spot because of the waits and relatively high prices, but worth a visit once in a while for a treat. And by "treat," I mean chicken hash.
