Napa Recap III (Happy New Year!)

Hope everyone had a nice New Year's Eve/New Year's Day. Last night D and I went out to the Original Fish Company. (We left a sleeping k at my parents' house). We had a gift certificate, so I thought it would be a good time to use it. When we arrived around 7 p.m., the hostess said there was an 80-minute wait and to come back in 20 minutes to get a pager. Sometimes restaurants overestimate wait time to make you feel better, but this one was pretty accurate. Luckily, we snagged a couple of seats inside the restaurant, right by the glassed in chef's station so we had something to watch during the wait. D had Wild Alaskan King Troll Salmon and I had Monkfish. Although we were starving by the time our food arrived, the first course really filled us up: D had Manhattan clam chowder and I had lobster bisque. Whoa, good thing we did not order an appetizer!

I guess I still haven't finished talking about our trip. On Christmas day, D's cousin and his wife joined us in Napa for Christmas lunch. D's parents and sister prepared a lovely turkey/prime rib feast.
