We have awesome restaurants on the Long Beach Peninsula.... but sometimes- you just gotta get out of Dodge!For a festive anniversary dinner- we headed 30 minutes south to Seaside, OR and the Yummy Wine Bar & Bistro.
This top photo is from their very descriptive web site here.
Just imagine the flowers are gone now- and you see the pretty wonderful Starfish lights that line the streets.
Forgive the dark blurry photos...
We started with a complimentary sparkling champagne (our anniversary gift from the owner)- and I continued with a flight of red from Italy. We ordered the hors d'oeuvre platter and enjoyed the lovely art exhibit. 
For entrees- Brett had the 'yummy' Venison Stew with pesto potato gnocchi, roasted root vegetables in a cabernet sauvignon rosemary demi glace- I had the Northwest Paella (because I am a Paella Snob)- manila clams, tiger shrimp, chicken, chorizo sausage and peas tossed in saffron rice.
I should mention that when I asked which wine our server would recommend for me- she picked the EXACT wine I was thinking of- (is this a party trick?!) Hullaballoo Zin. Double 'Yummy'.

Your dinner and dinning looks just great! This year to keep our family together, because they are getting older, I had each child choose a restaurant here in New Orleans to eat on their birthday. I took the whole family, six of us. Even though six dinners six times was a little pricey, the binding together was great. Good luck on your house project. I remodel kitchens.
The meals look really good.
I love the restaurant's name. Tho it reminds me of that silly soup commercial where the guy ends up getting Num Yummy on his name plate for his office cubicle.
thanks for letting me know about your blog. look forward to reading about life in Washington State
