August Date Night {Part I - Neb Wine Bar}


The weekend after my birthday we headed downtown on one of my most anticipated nights of the summer {more on the second half later}.  Leslie had graciously sent me some old Tom Douglas gift cards that she no longer could use so we decided to try them out at Neb, a newish TD spot in the old Serious Pie location that had a yummy looking menu.  We got there right when it opened and for awhile were the only two in the restaurant {I guess downtown really is dead}, but were excited to be able to hit up happy hour for a few drinks and yummy appetizers.  We started with the homemade rosemary fossette {like a focaccia} and burrata {so delicious} then ordered our pastas {rigatoni with arrabiata, ground pork and sesame oil for me and uni spaghetti with tobiko and nori for C}.  Both had super unique, intense flavors {uni is C's favorite so he was in heaven, and the sesame really added a new layer to my red sauce} and we gobbled everything down quite happily.  It was the perfect way to start the evening {made even better by the gift cards - thanks Pags!} and somewhere we'll definitely be heading back to next time we find ourselves downtown.
