Day 219: Swank

Fancy drinks.

Tonight we went to a restaurant in Provo for Christine's birthday.  We were going to go to Los Hermanos, but it's gone.  We were shocked about the loss of Los Hermanos, but it was freezing and we were on a strict time table, so we walked a few blocks down to Spark, this new little restaurant/club in downtown Provo.  Their website says they are a "Restaurant Lounge" but it felt more like a high end - members only - club, or some really swanky restaurant in New York.  The decorations and atmosphere were very hipster feeling, and the food looked like it was prepared by a chef.  Very yummy.

The difference with this Restaurant is that they don't serve alcohol.  At least not as far as I can tell.  So even though their menu had a long list of drinks that would normally be served with alcohol (they even listed martinis that were virgin...??), each was listed as "seltzer water" instead.  I love that!

We had fun ordering cool-sounding drinks and asking the waiter about it.  I ordered a Mango Mojito (virgin, in case you missed it) - it was really good!  And Ryan got a drink called Black Lemonade, which is a soda you can buy in a bottle that looks like poison (complete with the skull and cross bones on the label) which made it really fun to look at.  His was basically sour lemonade and soda, and it was pretty good. And yes, it was actually black.  Although from the picture you can't tell, it kind of had a blue-green tint to it, which is cool.

Fun night!  I love trying new places.  Definitely check this place out if you're up for something new.
