Loving Married Life in Cleveland

Some nights we really have no plans but just sort of end up somewhere.  We love trying new places or places that are just new for us!  One of our favorite new restaurants and place to go is Saigon downtown on E4th street.  We also stopped by Jukebox and it has become one of our favorite fun places for drinks and fun interesting food. So we have been to Saigon before- during All Star week but we went back there for a quick date night in August.  From starter to dessert it was all amazing!  We shared all the dishes, and one of each was plenty for us.  My husband who hates dessert even ate the ice cream and fried bananas.  The food here is always so fresh and made so well.  The owner really cares about what he is putting out!

He was a mess when we got him!  But I want to share some of our fun times with Bello from the summer as part of the loving married life blog! he soon got comfortable with us He loves my hubby more than life!

Looking for a quiet lunch on a beautiful patio in the heart of the city....Toast is the place!  We have always loved Toast it was the place of one of our first dates 5 years ago.  It never disappoints. refreshing sparkling summer cocktail!   Aren't we cute? the salad was an amazing kale salad with a fabulous fresh made dressing.  Everything at Toast is seasonal and fresh! I had a chicken sandwich with beautiful bacon on an amazing piece of bread! Ronnie had a simple but perfect burger with delicious pickles!   It is such a great space!  I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun fresh meal in a quiet setting.
