Dinner with Nick & Iz
Jenelle here...
Ben's grandparents, Nick and Isabelle, celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary back in July. It took us a while, but we finally took them out to dinner to celebrate. We've only been out to dinner with just the two of them a couple times, but everytime we go we're reminded just how well-loved they are. For example, when Ben and I arrived at the restaurant, Nick & Iz were already seated at the table of their choice and talking and laughing with the restaurant owner. After we ordered our food, the waitress brought out Italian bread and cheesy garlic bread -- compliments of the house.
Grandma Iz ordered one of the specials -- breaded cod -- and Grandpa Nick snuck a few bites. He told our waitress how great the cod was, and with wink and a smile she asked him if he wanted a couple more pieces. His mouth was saying no, but his head was nodding an emphatic yes. A few minutes later, the waitress came out with a heaping plate of breaded cod -- free of charge.
After we had eaten and eaten and eaten tons of food, the waitress brought us our check, but asked us not to leave... dessert was still on the way. Four bowls of spumoni ice cream.. again, compliments of the house.
Maybe it's just their friendly demeanor, but Nick and Iz sure know how to get the best service at any restaurant!
