Last week the dining club was off for Valentine’s day.  So Sam and I went out for a romantic Valentine dinner at J. Ryan’s on the Grill.  I had a delicious Surf and Turf dinner while Sam had the Lamb Chop which also was excellent.  I had some Moscato wine and totally enjoyed the evening.  I love you Sam.

We have added a new restaurant to our family and I’d like you all to welcome The Linger Lodge Restaurant.  The dining club will be meeting there next Tuesday, February 21st at 6:30.  If you have never been there you need to give it a try.  It is right on the Braden River and it’s like stepping back into time to “The Old Florida”, the way it was over a hundred years ago. The food is fresh and tastes great and the décor inside is like nothing you have ever seen before and the view outside is beautiful.  Please come join us.  Go back to original email and reserve your seats and get the address. The Linger Lodge page, featuring our review, pictures and COUPONS will be up on our site next week.
