We're just going to stay in from now on...

Since it's OC Restaurant Week, Mr. Pie and I decided to incorporate date night into it. The Chart House in Newport Beach was only offering $30 for a 3-course meal: appetizer, entree and dessert. We've been to this restaurant before in Malibu and remembered it being delish. So off we went!
We started out with Noblino white wine for Mr. Pie and Korbel champagne brut for me
For appetizers, we shared the calamari and seared ahi tuna. Both were kind of just regular and just ok.
Mr. Pie ordered the prime rib - medium rare for dinner and I got the coconut shrimp. The meat was tender and delicious while the shrimp had great texture but was too sweet.
Dessert was key lime pie and creme brulee. Both were ok as well but I thought the key lime was way too tart.
Overall, for $100 total, it could have been better. We all know Mr. Pie cooks waaaaaaay better than this so I think it might be a while before we head out again! Good thing he doesn't mind cooking ;)
