My mother and I have gotten into a habit of having lunch together on Tuesdays now since I'm usually teaching dance Thursday nights, when we used to have dinner with my brother. This past Tuesday Mom wanted to go to McCormick's & Schmiks (I probably spelled that wrong). It's one of the restaurants that's been built on the new deck at Crabtree mall.
It's fancy. The inside of the place vaguely reminded me of the Sam Sneads at the Greenbrier resort. Lots of stained wood and an expensive feeling. Though we sat at a table in the middle of the dining room, there are booths that have individual privacy curtains. I thought that was pretty cool.
The place looked expensive because it was. The two of us spent $40 on lunch! And all we got were two entrees, ice waters, one coffee, and a dessert. An $11 dessert! The Chocolate Bag.
The waiter said it was a lunch portion and that is was smaller and cheaper than the dinner bag... I'm afraid to know how much I'd spend there at dinner.
This bag was pretty awesome though. They take a brown paper lunch bag, and use it as a mold to create an identical replica made from dark chocolate. You can even see the creases from where the brown bag had been folded. Then they fill that bag of chocolate with white chocolate mousse, and on top of that they but strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and one of those long, drinking straw looking, cookies. This was a smaller one, and Mom and I barely finished it.
This is definitely the place to take a girl you really, REALLY, want to impress.
Later that same day...

I dunno. Phil and I went there and I wasn't impressed by the food. The decor was self-consciously pretentious.
But I'm also cynical.
I understand your comment on the decor... and the food wasn't as good as it was priced, I'll give you that too
BUT, the chocolate bag was pretty nifty
