At long last, after four months, the reappearance of Bridgit. Back in October, she dropped out of the quest, because it wasn't really working for her. But she had agreed to pick up any bars from her napkin of sponsorships, now sadly lost. The only one we could recall from the napkin was 611 Supreme, and we've been trying to figure out a good time to go for a month or more. At last the time had arrived.
We were going out with Bridgit and Heather from my work. The two of them go out every couple of weeks for a drink or two, but I didn't really know Heather, and Brandon's never met her at all, so it promised to be an interesting night. And indeed it was.
We started at 611, which has just recently been remodelled to take advantage of an expansion. The bar was part of what was moved and is still being finished in the new space, so we took a seat in the restaurant after confirming we could still order drinks. Then we decided to take advantage of the availability of crepes, and everyone ordered one.
The service wasn't too fast, but there was only one waitress and it was pretty busy, to that was okay. And it was leisurely and pleasant to just sit and talk with Bridgit out on the quest again. Heather was pretty quiet at first, but then she didn't know either of the guys really, and with Bridgit back in quest mode I can totally see why it took Heather a while to get into it. We sampled each other's crepes, drank our reasonably unremarkable drinks, and were there for about an hour and a half overall. The dinner crepes were enormous, the dessert crepes tasty but odd.
It was a nice little place, but while the crepes were very reasonable, the drinks were a bit more than I thought they should be. But it was okay, because, well...
Bridgit picked up the sponsorship.
Boy, I've missed writing that. Anyway, we checked with Heather to see if she wanted to hit another bar, she said she was fine with that (and would end up spending a rather long night out with us) and so we were off.
