Our dinner outing last night to Silverado turned out to be a wonderful experience! We started out with some frozen margaritas, which were fantastic. Then we settled in for some amazing bread rolls. Some of us were already familiar with these bread rolls from our experience with Sweetwater Tavern, which is also run by the Great American Restaurant Company. These rolls are essentially doughnut batter baked into dinner-roll shapes and served with an herbed butter. It takes all the willpower you have not to eat ten of them and spoil your dinner!

Silverado is known for its fajitas and steak, so most of us went that route in our dinner choices. I had a perfectly medium filet mignon, which lasted about 15 seconds on my plate before I attacked it. For dessert both Adam and I had the banana pudding with candied vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and chocolate sauce. Of course you can't really do better than the banana pudding/nilla wafer combination, in my book. But when a restaurant takes the humble classic and elevates it to a whole new level, now that's memorable!

For some reason the Scoobies were very camera happy during the evening's festivities. Matt has put up some of the pictures here. He's also just put up pictures from Monday night's birthday celebrations for Julie as well. Thanks Matt!
