We stood outside, waiting for Jacques to open at 5. Their happy hour is only till 6 and the tables fill up quickly. As soon the doors opened, we grabbed a table and started to write down our choices on the order sheet.
The waitress came by, gave us water and said, "And you guys know we're not doing the half off sushi anymore, right?"
"Um, what?"
"Yeah, we stopped it a week ago."
I turned to my friend. We said not a word but just looked at each other for a few seconds before simultaneously picking up our purses and exiting the restaurant. Jacques has amazing sushi, but unless it is half off, the prices are a bit too high.
So what do you do when your dinner plans have been changed? Go for sugar. :)
We headed to a creperie, Cafe De Amis, just up the street. My friend chose a dinner crepe, but being that I have a bit of a sweet tooth (no big shocker), I ordered two dessert crepes as my dinner. Yep, you read that right. Two dessert crepes.
On the left is the lime and Maui sugarcane crepe and the one on the right is bananas and Ghirardelli chocolate. I have to admit, I'm not a huge Ghirardelli fan ( I'm a Cabury's lover at heart) so I wouldn't order the chocolate one again, but the lime one was full of sugary goodness.The crepes were great and a nice change, but I'm still bummed about Jacques. I don't know where we'll get our sushi fix from now on but I'm sure I'll figure it out. :) Stay tuned.

Ugh, I HATE when that happens! Hopefully you can find another place with specials.
What a disappointment!
Mmm... crepes...
Melanie & Janna - Total bummer! First the brunch is gone and now the half off sushi. :(
But the crepes did make me feel better. :)
Sugar seems healthier if it's local produce I think. Also, good news about Cadbury is that all Dairy Milk in the UK is Fair trade. Now even more reason to indulge. :)
That pic looks like heaven :-)
Alisha - I love Cadbury's. My favorite chocolate by far.
Colby - They were amazing, but I'm definitely going to have to hit the gym again. :)
