One of the group things that's always included in the company trip is a nice dinner. This time it was at one of the fanciest of the resort's restaurants.
We had a private area on the rooftop, which was quite lovely.
A nice view, even with the parking lots and all.
A lovely sunset. Again, even with the parking lots.
Really tasty tomato soup.
Wedge salad. Also quite good.
For the main course, we had the choice of steak, chicken, or salmon.
All three of us picked the salmon.
It was so good! Cooked absolutely perfectly. Served over polenta, with asparagus and mashed potatoes as the sides. The potatoes were also shockingly good, ha.
Desert was a hazelnut cake with chocolate ganache and mousse, with a bit of caramel drizzle.
The desert was very good, but one of the waiters told someone who'd asked about it that "it has the flavor profile of a Twix" which was a) not terribly accurate and b) extremely hilarious to all of us at the table. We were all I think a bit tipsy at that point, but we all found it way too funny.
I went with mojitos for my drink of choice for the evening, and those were really good too. My mom went with those as well, and she also really liked them. I don't know if she'd ever tried a mojito before?
And then Taylor's boss gave all of us edibles, lol.
It was a really nice evening, and fun to hang out and chat with everyone. It started to get a wee bit chilly on the rooftop (though I think it didn't dip below the 50s, but there was a bit of a breeze) but they did have some portable heaters to keep it pleasant.
I think we tragically missed some drama later in the night where someone took a swing at some other dude on the dance floor inside and got dragged out by security? (Not any of our extended party!) We always miss the crazy shit because we're boring and wimp out earlier than most, haha. (Long day + three drinks + a couple hours of socializing absolutely did me in, lol.)
