So I have to preface this write up with that we went on Valentine’s day, which was a terrible idea. Valentine’s day is just a terrible day to do anything but cook and get drunk at home imo.

With that said, Joseph came to get me at 5:30 or so for our reservations at 6:30. We wanted to happy hour and then eat. So Fuel has ReFuel which is their happy hour spot. We walk in, because you can, and it’s closed. No signage or anything. According to the web site, it’s open at 5 for happy hour. Alrighty.

We then walked over to Fuel. Both spaces btw are very cool and it’s so great that they’re doing so much work in the RiNo area etc. We let the hostess know that we had a reservation but we were going to happy hour first, she said she could seat us or we could hang out at the bar. So since happy hour seems more legit whilst sitting at a bar that’s where we headed. We were given all the full dinner/drink menus. When we asked if there were happy hour menus, we were informed that there was no happy hour that day. That might have been nice to know ahead of time. We could have gone to the Ginn Mill for $2 happy hour and tied one on for like $20!

So I’m chippy because now we’re eating at like 5:30 with all the blue hairs. No offense. The web site also said there would be Valentine’s day specials, which we were also informed wasn’t happening. GAH.

We ordered a bottle of wine and listened to the painful conversations around us until the food came. Everything was delicious. The veggies totally overshadowed all the meat. They were amazing.

I’d like to try ReFuel when it’s open at their convenience. I’ll be chippy about this for a bit. There are too many other amazing restaurants to be so annoyed with one to try it again.
