Happy Birthday Doug!

Tonight we went out to dinner for an early birthday celebration for Doug.  He chose the place and we took a nice little family walk to the restaurant.

Boar Bolognese
Citrine
Oak Park, IL

I have been to Citrine before and LOVED their burger.  I really, really, really wanted to order the burger again, but I stuck to my challenge with this blog and ordered something different since I already had that burger this year. 
I was limited in my choices to something without too many crunchy things in it because you know...wisdom teeth healing.  I opted for the boar bolognese because it sounded interesting and I've never tried boar before.  It was very good, but I was still missing the burger.

Grades:

Megan - A- (The pasta was good, just not as good as the burger.  I feel that Citrine has a nice atmosphere and a great patio which is where we sat.  However, every time I go there I feel it is a bit overpriced.  The burger is a good deal and delicious.  Go for that!)

Noelle - A- (Noelle loved the bread and olive oil dipping they brought to the table before dinner.  She had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and liked it.  She loved that she got a scoop of ice cream at the end of the meal!  And sitting outside was very entertaining for her because she loved watching the trains go by as we ate.)
