Restaurant Highlight: Tapas

A couple of weeks ago, a new friend and I decided to try a new restaurant to us for dinner. We decided on a restaurant called Tapas. Before I get to the delicious food we ate, let me explain this friend. If you remember this post it was the first time I mentioned her.

Her boyfriend is the one who referred Sean for the job once he began working for Amazon. He got the job, moved to PA from NY and referred Sean after several months of working for Amazon. You know what happens after that.

Well, she is the best type of friend to have right now because she's going through the exact same thing. She moved from NY (never thought she would) and is now beginning a new life here in PA. The only difference between us is that her job search recently came to an end.

It was so nice to have dinner with her and see all the things we have in common. It wasn't even awkward to take pictures at dinner because she was doing the same! Yup, she carries around her camera like I do.

We've decided that every few weeks we'll go out to dinner and try out some of the restaurants around here. A foodie and a picture taker = the beginning of a beautiful friendship ;).

Before we ate we walked around and checked out a cute bookstore since the weather was so nice.

For dinner we decided on a restaurant called Tapas (another recommendation from Sean's teammates) and were blown away with how good the food was. Our server advised us that the tapa portions are small so we both ordered 3 things off the menu and shared. I think the server is confused about what is considered a small serving because the servings in my opinion were far from small and well we ordered a bit much. Thank goodness for to go bags. I had a great time, bonus points that the food was ridiculously good. If we weren't so stuffed we were going to try their churros for dessert. But no worries, I'll be back again, belly.

I have to say that trying all these new restaurants is so exciting to me. Here's hoping that they all get golden reviews from me.

Happy Monday! Hope you all had wonderful weekends! I did! Sean and I went to the city and saw my mom and little sister! This means lots of pictures and the mandatory photo shoot coming soon my poor family! You've been warned! ;)
