It was about that time again for another dinner date with my love!
Last night, in celebration of Inland Empire Restaurant Week, le boyfriend and I headed to the Grand Oak Steakhouse for a lovely 4 course meal. I’ve recently started the FitGirlsGuide 28 Day Jumpstart program, so this was my first non-cheat cheat meal, and I must say it was so delightful! Especially ending on that sweet warm chocolate and berry note… After dinner, I wanted to walk the grounds a bit and we stumbled upon a lavender field, which turned out to be pretty ideal for a couple shots of my rented Raoul maxi dress.

A close-up of the Rafe clutch I rented with my Unlimited status at Rent the Runway. Its surprisingly roomy, and fit my cell phone, credit cards and cash, lipstick, mini perfume vial, and even my sunglasses! I would definitely rent this little guy again. It will be so ideal for summer events.

My Restaurant Week meal included a locally harvested salad, complimentary artichoke crostini bite, Sea Bass with potatoes, fennel salad, and grapefruit, and warmed chocolate cake with raspberries and pistachio ice cream. We also got soup (carrot with chutney and green garlic, respectively, but they looked oh so blah in the bowl!)

The boyfriend’s meal.. Crab cake, steak with potatoes and veggies, and double crème brule (vanilla and dark chocolate, yummm)

The fields of lavender.
