Yesterday afternoon Burke and I met up with his parents in Georgetown for some light shopping and dinner plans. Our dinner plans were for a wonderful Italian restaurant called Filomena. Originally I heard about it while at Drury (I was watching the Travel Channel) and thought it would be a good experience to have. So yesterday morning Burke called ahead and made a reservation. It was definitely a good plan to do that. Before that we just wandered around the streets a little to see the shops (we did not go in anywhere but it was nice to explore). Then we found a little place right next door to Filomena which was a Chinese Tea House. We decided to go inside and see if we could get some tea before dinner. We all had different teas because it was sold on an individual portion size. I had Harmony tea (it was apples, oranges and passion fruit) it was really good and the color was similar to red wine. Burke had a jasmine tea which he enjoyed (I did not like it, because I don't like the flower teas). Marc had a variation on traditional green tea, it was apparently refreshing. Kelly had an Oolong tea which was really good, but a little strong for me. After our tea, and taking a few photos with it, we walked next door to Filomena for dinner and I was very excited.
Our dinner was absolutely amazing! I was so excited to be there and have the food. Our meal was amazing, although the portion sizes were huge. I ordered a dish called La Familia it was a twist on the traditional meatballs with rotini pasta and an amazing pulled beef and sausage meat sauce. Burke had a lobster dish that apparently tasted like lobster bisque but with noodles. His parents shared a penne dish with a meat sauce. The food was amazing, and then we all shared a piece of the Oreo cake they had. It was also really good, light and fluffy but tasted amazing and such a strong flavor. It was a good evening and I will be putting some photos on Facebook from the tea, I did not take any in the restaurant because the lighting was limited and I did not want to disturb other guests.
