Looking for an upscale casual lunch spot anywhere in Madison
Hello!
I am currently planning a very important date, one that I plan to tell my best friend that I am absolutely in love with her and I can’t hold it in any longer. Her (28f) and I (32f) have been friends for 10 years and over the course of the last couple of months I’ve sent her 10 gifts in the mail. I still have 8,9,&10 to go.
Anyway, back to the question- I am struggling to find a place to eat for lunch on a Sunday. We both plan to wear dresses we wouldn’t normally get to wear, so I’m not looking for a bar and grill or anything along those lines. I’d like to avoid food fight restaurants, but will go to one if it’s recommended multiple times.
The big caveat is that she hates seafood, of any kind. So sardines is off the table.
TIA
\*\*Edit to add: I put this in the comments, but I thought I’d just paste it here so yall know the plan and don’t think I’m gonna like propose in the middle of a lunch rush. 🙃
I guess I should’ve worded it better
I am not dropping a bomb shell in the middle of the restaurant- I am giving her her 10th gift at the end of the meal, with a letter and necklace that tells her “how over the years I’ve cried when we’ve parted. I think of her every single day, and cherish the matching tattoos we have. That after all these years, all these moments, I have to be honest with myself and honest with you. I am in love with you, and I think I may have always been. “
Likely I’ll ask her to wait to open the letter and just present the gift (it’s a cute plant that involves an inside joke that would absolutely give her or I away)
