We Go Out In Savannah

17 HUNDRED 90 INN AND RESTAURANT

Summertime, Summertime, Sum, Sum, Summertime. And boy, is it hot! There was no way Ms. Goulash was going to cook anything inside in this weather, so she and Mr. Fettucini headed into downtown Savannah for dinner at the 17 Hundred 90 Inn and Restaurant. Mr. Fettucini, please give us your cool thoughts:

Mr. Fettucini: Wait a minute....OK, I just wanted to sip something cool before I begin. We really enjoyed our evenin' at 17 Hundred 90...and I do mean evenin'. We arrived at 5:30pm hopin' for an early dinner but was told we could sit in the bar area for 30 minutes since dinner doesn't get rollin' until 6:00pm. So, Ms. Goulash and I had a couple of brewski's. At 6:00 sharp, we went into the dinin' room. I ordered a lobster bisque soup appetizer (delicious) and we each had a house salad with raspberry vinagrette, blue cheese and pecans over a spring mix (tasty). Ms. Goulash and I decided to share a roast duckling entree that came with a rice medley and sauteed veggies (nicely done). For dessert, it was a ginger flavored creme brulee and a cappucino. By the time we paid our bill, it was almost 8 o'clock. They don't call here Slo' vannah for nothing. OK, I need to move on to the really good stuff. Ms. Goulash and I didn't make reservations (big deal...there ain't a packed joint in the whole town) so, we were seated right next to the piano playin' singer, Theodocious (Theo). Maybe they thought it was the worst table in the place...but it wasn't and we were her captive audience. She told us she had a song book of over 200 titles. She started out with Unchained Melody, did a couple of Harry Chapin tunes and ended with Ms. Goulash's special request of Otis Redding's Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay. OK, so maybe we could'a taken a few naps in between our food courses if it hadn't'a been for Theo. She really made our night. Sometimes, those little unexpected surprises can make or break an experience. Whoa!!! Did I just say somethin' profound! Wow! I'm startin' to even impress myself.

Ms. Goulash: Mr. Fettucini, now don't get carried away with yourself, dahling. Although, I agree that Theo truly made our night out special. And don't you think that I added a nice little flair to things when I sat on the piano in an attempt to do a duet with Theo. Too bad the waitstaff wasn't impressed with my move. I don't think I really needed the assistance of 2 waiters to get me down...er, I mean help me off, dahlings.
