Last night Kenny, Chris, Laura and I ate at Jackson’s for my birthday. It is a new restaurant in Reston Towne Center and owned by the same group that owns Artie’s and Coastal Flats and Sweetwater Tavern. We had gone to the bar the first weekend it was open and there was a two hour wait, so we went and had dinner at the oldie but goodie Clyde’s. But for my birthday I thought we should try it out. We called ahead which cut down the wait somewhat, but we still waited for 45 minutes. Once seated I knew that I wanted to try there Deviled Eggs appetizer and Fried Calamari. The calamari was wonderful. The eggs were a let down. They had something crunchy inside and it was not very good. The waiter said I was the first person who didn’t like them. I guess I like good old deviled eggs with mayo and mustard. The deviled eggs came with sugar cured pieces of bacon that were splendid, and I don’t like bacon.
For dinner I had the filet mignon and crab cake (it was my birthday). I love filet and it was very yummy. The crab cake was good too, it was literally hunks of crab meat, no filling. I think everyone enjoyed their dinners as well.
After dinner we walked over to Starbucks for my new weakness. It was a wonderful birthday!!!!!!!!!!
