Bracelet for day of and Restaurant rave

Ok so yesterday i took Fh out to dinner at buddakan for his birthday. First ill say that I was on my period and all day in a bad mood before we went out to dinner i got into a fight with FH about the stupidest thing, he kept saying not to ruin the night but i dont know what was wrong with me, i used to never be like this on my period and past months im raging lol. I was focused only on it being his birthday dinner that i didnt realize it was 2/9 and that at midnight it was the anniversary of the night we met. Well on the way there i was still a little mad and he yelled 'here i was going to wait until midnight but bc youre acting like this ill do it now' he goes into his glove compartment and took out a card and a box. I read the card and he wrote out this whole thing and I realize then that it was the anniversary of the night we met and then i open the box and he gave me the regina b bracelet Mimacat posted recently. He knew i had wanted the last one, and he was watching it on ebay and won it for me so i can wear for the wedding...yeah so i felt horrible after...here is the bracelet-I LOVE IT



now onto restaurant review. Buddakan inside looks so nice and the people are nice, not arrogant like alot of places that are like this. The food was seriously AMAZING, fh and i kept saying OMG this is delicious and FH even said it was better than TAO which is his favorite restaurant. And everybody always say that the place is SOOO expensive but really it isn't. They serve family style, now not HUGe portions like italian places but still. We ordered 3 appetizers: cantonese spring rolls, frog legs and edamame dumplings. For main entree we had the charcoaled filet of beef and seriously this melted in your mouth and im not the biggest fan of redmeat, they put this sauce on that is amazing. We also had the crispy shrimp and wow so good too. We also had dessert, sorbet and white chocolate rice pudding which again was amazing. Fh even got a $55 bottle of sake, and i had 2 drinks. When the bill came i expected it to be more than it was but it wasnt bad at all, i was surprised it was just under $210 and for all we got not bad. The prices i found to be average. Apps are like most restaurants $8-12 and just a few over. Main course were in the $20's like 23-25. So i dont know why everybody says that its so expensive...That place buddha bar is more than this, their entree's are like $40 each. I definitely recommend it. Our waiter was so great and attentive, he made great suggestions as to what to get. Definitely a place to check out

what a gorgeous bracelet!!! wear it in good health !!

happy b-day to Joe!!

And now I want to go to Buddakhan!!! Sounds delish!!

Denise,

Sounds like you had a great night despite the little fight at the beginning!!! Your FH sounds super attentive and the fact that he bought you that bracelet and noticed that you wanted it is so great.
Buddakan is fantastic. Isn't the middle part of the restaurant amazing? crazy, right? Food is fantastic and the desserts were amazing. FH and I went there last year to celebrate his new job.

Glad you had a great night and thanks for the review.

that bracelet is beauuuuuutiful!!!!

and I love the buddkan restaurant... i think the drinks are overpriced but anywhere you go, especially meatpacking is going to be craxy for drinks... but yes the food is fantastic there... very brave of you to try the frog legs

Yeah i couldn't believe that i didnt realize that at midnight it was the anniversary of the night we met, omg talk about really feeling horrible about the fight. Seriously i was mad about the stupidest thing, he didnt even do anything

Yeah the place is gorgeous, and the service was great too. The food though is wow.

Thank you

Wow Denise, that bracelet is stunning!!! So glad your night turned around for you...I always have HORRIBLE PMS..I give warning signals.

thank you

yeah see thats why i thought the bill would come out to more. We ordered drinks first at the bar which were like $14 each. But the food i thought was average price. Oh they did give us the edamame dumplings for free bc our waiter thought the guy took too long to bring them out but we didnt mind at all, so that was nice.

The frog legs were the best out of all the apps, so amazing.

yeah so true, but like you said most of those places around there are charging that much for drinks if theyre going to charge $15 for a bacardi and diet coke at least put it in the big glass not the small ones

I'm glad the night turned out great in the end!!! The bracelet is beautiful!!!!
