an exceptional dinner at an exceptional hour (lyn)


My mom is usually in bed by eight.  “But I get up at four,” she always tells us when we tease her about bedtime.  After the screening, seven of us head over for a big dinner at a fabulous restaurant, Scalini Fedeli.  We order around 10:45, and the restaurant is full.  On Cape Cod, there are no restaurants open at this hour.  In fact, most people are home in bed by eleven.

We drink champagne that another table sends over (friends of Valerie and Abbey), and we all toast to a wonderful night.  Then we order appetizers, a main course and dessert, all from an exquisite prix fixe menu.  Everyone’s food is magnificent, and the two-mini offerings from the chef in between courses are also sublime.

We don’t get home until have one.  The excitement of the night energizes all of us.
