Yum!

Last Friday night, my husband and I went out to dinner with two friends of ours that are dating.  Friday night is usually my night for a low key dinner (either pizza at home or an easy dinner with my husband).  After a long week at work, I usually just decompress on Friday nights.  Our friends though weren't available at any other time, and we really wanted to see them, so we went for it.  I'm so glad we did!  We were able to make a reservation at Blue Point Grill in Princeton.  After trying to make one a couple weeks ago to no avail, it was exciting to get the chance to dine there.  We had eaten there a couple years ago when my husband lived in Somerset but hadn't had the opportunity to go back since.  I started with the steamed shrimp dumplings, and my husband enjoyed the buffalo shrimp.  He then had the salmon special which was described by the waitress as the "filet mignon" of salmon, and I ordered the grilled scallops with a side of french fries.  For the first time in a long time, I ate a dinner without a vegetable.  It was definitely out of character.  What made up for it was how delicious the meal was.  My food was all cooked perfectly.  Although it was not the "best" salmon my husband has ever had (he always looks back to the salmon he had at the Ocean Club in Scottsdale, Arizona as the best he's ever had), he was very satisfied, and his plate was clean.  For dessert, we broke Lent for the night and had the chocolate lava cake.  Blue Point Grill is BYOB so we enjoyed a nice ten dollar bottle of South African Sauvignon Blanc.  That is the best part of BYOBs.  In a non-BYOB restaurant, the wine would have been $10 a glass.  It definitely helps ease the pain with the bill at the end of the night.

Dinner at the Blue Point Grill in Princeton was delicious.  I can't wait to return!
