Dad's birthday celebration

Tweet

It was my dad's 70th birthday yesterday. I suggested to my mom that we go to an Asian bistro for dinner to celebrate. She agreed. I kept calling the place but kept getting a message that this is no longer a working number (or something to that effect). We went there anyway to check if it was open as it was close by. Turned out that there was a CLOSED sign on the door. I am not sure if the place is temporarily closed or if it went out of business. Either way, it was a bummer that we couldn't go there for dinner. I've been to this place before a few times and the food was really good. We now had to pick another place to go to for dinner. I told my parents about a Japanese restaurant I've been to before that I liked and they agreed to go there. We got there a little before 8 pm. At that time hubby was still at work but he was ready to leave. He told me he had to stop home to change before coming to the restaurant. I decided not to wait for him and order some appetizers. When he finally arrived it took us a while before we finally ordered the main course as we were still enjoying the appetizers. By the time the main course came and we were done eating it, there was no time to have dessert as it was after 10 pm. The restaurant was already closed and the chef had gone home. My dad did not get the chance to blow out a candle and enjoy a delicious treat. I was disappointed about that but at least we did get some ice cream, which was a sweet ending to the meal. It seemed like my parents enjoyed the food, which I am really glad about. They deserved to go out to dinner, especially since they haven't really gone out anywhere since the pandemic started. At least from what I know.
