My Saturday night dinner

So Saturday Christy and I went to J. Willy's Bar and Grille with Casey and Kelly. Christy had been jonesin' to go there since Gordon Ramsey was there a few weeks ago. Christy was sick when he was there, so she didn't get to go "see" the transformation.

See Christy is really impressed with Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares show on BBC. She was excited to here that he might be in the area for the American version (Airing on Fox this fall). Craptastic thing was that she decided to get sick as a dog only to wake up from cold/flu medicine induced nap to the noon news that Ramsey was in own tight then. Oh well, that's Murphy messin' with ya.

So we finally got a nice night away from kid and decided that since Casey and Kelly were in the same boat we should at least go see what he place looks like. I was impressed.

It's a laid back, but very nice looking place. quite a few 4 top tables and "horse shoe" shaped booths that look like they could sit between 4-6 folks, with a bunch of 6 tops set into another section. A separate, but opened bar (so no smoking at all, I am still grateful for that St/ Joseph county!). TVs out of the way but visible and two GIGANTIC projection screen TVs right smack dab in the middle of the dining area (very nice for tourney time, even if the hockey game was on some small one in the corner).

Any way, the food was very good and not too expensive. Hell, the four of us couldn't break $100 even with 2 appetizers, 4 entrees drinks, some more drinks (c'mon it was me and Casey), and deserts.

All in all, it was a very good dinner. Much better than some cookie-cutter T.G Appleganili's, that for sure. We talked to our waitress and found out that the whole menu is Gordon Ramsey's input and everything is made there, even the fantastic chocolate pie I had.

We'll defiantly go back there. I wonder if Emma would like the grilled cheese?
