Date night in Grand Rapids

On Saturday David and I spent the evening in Grand Rapids. First we headed to Easttown to try a restaurant we have not yet been to. Generally we find ourselves eating at the same couple restaurants (Electric Cheetah is our fave) but I wanted to try something new. We decided on Chez Olga mainly because of what it looked like on the outside!
Chez Olga: the coolest looking restaurant I've ever seen! 



The tagline for the restaurant is "Taste the Caribbean Heat." I've never tried Caribbean food so I was excited that this would be an evening of new things! We both ordered a Papaya and Mango drink to start. It was absolutely delicious. It was like a thick juice, but not quite a smoothie.

For dinner I ordered the chicken and broccoli. It was served with a bed of rice and a very yummy sauce. I loved it! I'm so glad we decided to go try a new place. I definitely recommend it to anyone in the Grand Rapids area.

Chicken and broccoli. Delicious!
After dinner we headed to the Devos Performance Hall. We saw Annie, which was my favorite movie/musical as a child. I watched it so many times! Tickets to the show were a Christmas gift from David. It was a very sweet idea. David had actually never seen the movie so he did not know the plot. We both really enjoyed the performance. The actor who played Ms. Hanagan did a great job, she was hilarious. It was a very fun night!
