When the husband and I dined at Houston's the other night I took full advantage of the opportunity to play around with my new camera's settings under the dim candle lit ambiance. And though many of the photos are blurry, sometimes I think there's a little bit of magic in a blurred shot. It beckons the viewer to fill in the details with their own imagination. Sometimes I even do it on purpose ...other times however {since I'm still learning the ins and outs of my camera} blurred shots are complete accidents ...but it doesn't mean I don't like the way they turn out.

. . . appetizer: spinach artichoke dip . . .

. . . the husband ordered: famous french dip au jus . . .

. . . the husband's view . . .

. . . my drink: mojito . . .

. . . i ordered: center-cut filet with spinach . . .

* As for a review of Houston's, it's fantastic ...it always is. {click here for their entire menu}

...I'm still learning my new camera, too...and still learning where *good* to eat on Friday night...
mmmmmm delicious!
You're getting the hang of it! Mine is ok... not great without good lighting. I need a Canon 5D... and 4,000 bucks. LOL!
Food looks great too!
you both had great views :) the meal looks fantastic.

You're just amazing on that photo!
houston's is my absolute favorite restaurant, which feels like a crime since it's a chain. their veggie burger is the best thing i've ever eaten.
fun pix!

Spin dip and steak!!! YUM!!!
I'm always afraid to bust out my camera in restaurants unless I'm with a group and we're taking photos of each other.
Oh, heck yeah. That place is amazing.
I agree about blurry shots, especially with warm, low lighting... romantic! :)

hotpants: I too feel a bit embarrassed with the camera & taking photos in restaurants. ;) I didn't take too many ...and I try to be sneaky about it lol!
Houston's might seriously be my favorite casual dining restaurant OF ALL TIME! I used to work across the street from the one in Manhattan Beach and it was my go-to for lunch (an expensive habit, I know!) I DIE for their veggie burger (and I'm not a vegetarian!) and the Thai noodle steak salad is the BIZNESS!!
ahhh, I miss LA. There is a Houston's here in ATL, but its SUPER FAR from my house :(
yum! houstons is sooo good!!
from a superficial stand point, I love your wedding ring....and the food look yummy.
you are so gorgeous. {LOVE HOUSTONS!!!}

i'm fortunate enough to live within 2 miles of two Houston's (used to work for them too)...i simply adore the service and food, coming from an ex employee it shows a lot about the company.
love the shots! i'm still figuring out my camera!
