mmm.... Cathy and I went to volt restaurant here in Frederick tonight. It was the second time we've been there since it opened last summer. The first time we were there, the staff seemed professional, but a bit stilted. They had only been open for a month or so and I think they were still trying to find their center. This time we went, it was clear that they had. The staff was still professional, but warm and natural.
It's going to be my birthday Wednesday, so this was my birthday meal. It was a spectacular trip into complex tastes and beautifully arranged dishes. We had A great Zin called Paradox (not sure it was spelled that way). Cathy had the lamb and I was totally unimaginative and had the same beef dish I had before (I really feel bad about that).
To make a 2.5 hour meal short, it was fabulous. Fabulous food with a fabulous girl. I love our little boy, but I do miss going out with Cathy like we used to- at least we can do it twice a year:)

Happy Birthday, Kevin. Don't worry, you'll get over the new-parent blues and enjoy the time you have as a family. At the same time, there is nothing wrong with hiring a sitter to go out and be a couple; in fact, you should do it once every two weeks or per month. It's good for you and good for Ian to learn to be independent.

I've never eaten dinner at Volt but I LOVE their $15 express lunches. Plus, who can pass up their food? Glad to hear you enjoyed it.... I've gotta take my husband there sometime!
