There was a wine and cheese tasting on the boat, and the surroundings were beautiful. The most romantic thing me and my ex ever did was go on a boat ride on the napa river in napa, california.

My sweetie and I were 4-wheeling in the woods near where we lived. He suggested we head to the river to rest for a bit. Near the bank he had a beautiful picnic set up. The most romantic part was the thought he put into it...from the food selection, to the wild flowers near by, to the color of the blanket. He proposed to me that day!

We stayed in a Bed and Breakfast, with a park-like setting, that sits on a hill overlooking the Santa Maria mountains. After a casual day of wine tasting, we spent a lazy afternoon in hammocks in the private backyard area of our room, and had an after dinner soak in the in-room hot tub. It could not have been more beautiful. Spent an enchanting weekend in the wine country of Solvang, for our anniversary, which was Valentine’s Day.

I had never been and this is also the home of the Korean Bell of Friendship which is gorgeous and just so happens to be a part of my culture. Afterward we went to Ports O' Call and grubbed on a tray of shrimp, potatoes, onions, and garlic bread. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Then we took a drive up PCH and came across a coffee shop called Coffee Cartel in Redondo where they had plenty of comfy couches and there were a few acoustic guitars being strummed outside by other patrons. Our final destination was the Basement Tavern in Santa Monica which is a speakeasy like bar. Very hidden from the street, adorned with about a dozen different types of chairs, and on a Sunday night... very quiet and intimate. The entire night was a surprise. It started with absolutely no plans at all and evolved into one of the most romantic evenings I've ever had. We drove to Angels Gate Park in San Pedro and watched the sunset over Catalina Island.

I built a fire in a cabin in Idyllwild with my lover and then we performed interpretive dances for one another. We laughed until tears rolled down our cheeks, then soaked in a hot tub under the stars. Afterward we made music, wrote a new and song together - and the rest is left up to the imagination...

It has been a great way to patronize regular haunts and try new ones. It is also a good way to get my non-foodie friends to try a top notch restaurant. ALl ogf my experiences have been exceptional except one; Mr. C. I have never had such a bad experience as I had at Mr. C. After my experience I read the reviews and many had a similiar if not exact experience. The staff were hostile and most unprofessional to sy the least. The manager that was running the hotel and restaurant that evening stated that Mr. C staff would manipulate the reviews by have bad reviews removed and inserting good reviews. THus the reviews are either horrible or absolutely fantastic.....wonder why? They obviously are not quick enough to removed all the negative reviews. I highly sugest Dine LA remove Mr. C from its list. I have eaten at a dine LA restaurant evey day the event has been happening. It has been a great way to patronize regular haunts and try new ones.
