Gibson's BBQ [3/5]

Looking for a low key kind of dinner, the hubby and I took ourselves out to Gibson's on South Parkway. It was a drizzly night so the crowd was light and we were quickly seated. Once we realized the menus were already on the table (look in with the sauces) we placed our drink orders and perused the menu.

The hubby decided on a small bbq turkey plate, while I opted for a small bbq pork plate. Each came with two sides and your choice of hushpuppies or rolls. We both selected hushpuppies and bbq beans before diverging, me to coleslaw and him to potato salad.

Watercress [5/5]

You all may remember back in October when I took a short sojourn to take a certain exam? Well, in mid December I received a very official letter telling me I had passed! Clearly this is something to be celebrated with a nice dinner out. But of course there was Christmas, and then there was life and so it was mid January before we managed to get our celebrating done properly.

We chose to try the new Watercress location at Bridge St. We had tried the downtown location with mixed opinions some time ago and the hubby wanted to try this one. Located just across from the Monaco theater, they have taken the old Dolce spot and toned down the glam, turning up the relaxation.

Sitar Indian Cusine [4/5]

Keen on our quest to try more Indian food, the hubby and I headed over to Sitar one Friday night. Located on Jordan, just north of the 565, it's part of the long channel of restaurants serving the lunch crowds from the Arsenal, UAH, and Research Park. The dinner crowd kept the restaurant about half full which allowed things to move at a nice leisurely pace.

Carrabba's Italian Grill [3/5]

I'm not generally big on chain restaurants. By which I mean, I eat at chains only when drug there by a large group or a business associate (business being greater than food in my book). But, after years of wondering if Carrabba's lived up to the hype of the "best Italian restaurant in Huntsville", I won a $20 gift card courtesy of a raffle at work. So it was that the hubby and I found ourselves parking on the second floor of the Parkway Place mall parking structure on a Tuesday night.
