Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Good food, good wine and good service.

That about sums it up.
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

Ambiance is more important than food ... for me ...

I love places with "atmosphere" ...

I love places where u can converse and enjoy others' company ...

good question ice... I have noticed ... as men get older ... they seem to focus more on their tastebuds ... just an observation ... not callin u old or nothin...

A nice atmosphere... usually a very dark place with subtle lighting. Good company and a waiter/waitress that does not have a problem getting you anything you want.

But... I'm not really into fine dining all that much, so what do I know?

The local Burger King usually seems to nail it big grin.

I need a value meal supersized served nice and warm from the microwave. I also prefer my restaraunts to have a kiddy park and I need the toys with the children meals to be quality and impressive.

On Valentines the White Castle by my house has a special where when you walk in the tables all have tablecloths and candles on them. You sit down and a waiter dressed in a tuxedo comes and takes your order. It's hilarious.

The only problem is that you have to order this shit on the White Castle menu and I swear that White Castle has the grossest food on the face of the Earth.

Trust me you score big points if you bring your lover to a candlelit Valentines dinner at White Castle big grin You will be getting laid that night for certain.

Seriously, tho...

All it takes is:

A relaxed, casual atmosphere...

Dress well, but not dressed-up...wearing a suit and tie while eating is too restricting...

Beautiful and artistically presented food...lots of color and lots of choices displayed before me...with flowers nearby...

Soft lighting...maybe even softer music barely audible...

An amazing view...

The perfect company with which to share my thoughts, as well as to comfortably share the silence...

Solitude...

The atmosphere must be just perfect.

Tablecloth, candles, fine china, crystal, and very little noise. Noise from nature however is very welcome, like the sound of the shore, or of breezes rustling through the trees. It must be near a window, overlooking nature.

A corner of the room, and 5 courses. Port wine, crisp salad, crusty bread and butter, a cup of soup, a plate of grilled veges (lol), and a rich dessert of chocolate souffle and a sprinkle of nutmeg in vanilla cream, to top it off.

See I'm the opposite. When we're finished eating we like to chill, relax, converse.

DON'T BE HOUNDING ME. When I'm finished I'll leave!
