We hit Carafe (gmaps | web), a french bistro and wine bar, up on a "Friday night date night".  We've started this tradition where Heidi meets me downtown after work on Friday and we pick a spot for food and drinks.  It doesn't have to be a happy hour place but we'll sometimes take advantage of that.

I give a thumbs up for atmosphere being outside in the sun on a beautiful day, thumbs down for service because we waited forever to order wine, and another thumbs down for food because my steak and fries - the steak was overcooked, dry and served on a small plate - maybe 4oz of steak with 8oz of fries.  I was expecting more for $20 steak and fries.
