The One Day Trip to Spain

So my girlfriend and I went to Spain Restaurant in Narragansett for our three year anniversary. This has been on ongoing tradition of ours for each of the past three years, so anything less would have been a downgrade and a let down. The place is very popular with the older crowd, and that is exactly what we saw. With the exception of a few, we were the youngest ones in there by at least thirty years. I didn't mind though, that only means it was going to be more quiet. The professionalism astonishes me more and more every time I go there. When you are done with your bread, usually there is a little bit of a mess in front of you, and they come over with a crumber to clean your eating area. I understand this is something sophisticated restaurants emphasize, but I'm not used to that kind of treatment, so for a few seconds I felt like royalty. Then they brought over the shrimp appetizer, which we had been looking forward to for weeks (which sounds sad, but it really is that good). We are on a mission to figure out the recipe to the spicy sauce that they put on it. It is easily the tastiest shrimp I've ever had. For my entree I got a chicken anazula (kind of butchered the name), which was chicken breast stuffed with ham, spinach, pine nuts, and cheese which was covered in a pink vodka like sauce. She got a sirloin steak, which was cooked perfection (at least according to my taste). We always get dessert after, but we literally had no room left, so we left unable to fulfill our sweet craving. We ended up have ice cream later in the night anyway.
