Happy Hour

Happy Hour is that magical hour in the restaurant world where prices are slashed for food and drink. The restaurants are hoping that people will come in for those cheaper prices, and praying they will staying for dinner. Since I have been in San Francisco I haven't frequented as many Happy Hours as I would like but the ones I see about town are slightly discouraging. I normally see the signs outside of places or online and they always say "430pm ti 630pm" and once you go inside the price for what is consider "Happy Hour" food and drinks aren't really worth it. I should mention that in LA Happy Hours that I normally went lasted from 4pm till 8pm, and maybe thats why people in LA never stayed for dinner at these restaurants. 

Well on this day in March I decided to surprise my Fiance' with a Happy Hour treat at one of our favorite restaurants. We haven't really been to the restaurant during Happy Hour before so we were concerned. We decided to head back to 1300onFillmore for Happy Hour with the hopes of maybe staying for dinner. Well this Happy Hour did not disappoint. We sat in very comfy leather chairs ate great food at great prices. We had fat fries, and no not like fat fries from Fatburger (LA thing) or from any regular hamburger joint. These were from real potatoes and had great color and taste to go along with it. As well we had fried chicken skewers, which I couldn't get enough. What is Happy Hour without $5 drinks to go along with it. Now a days I can not do the hard liquor but I can drink Wine and Champagne, funny the older I get the more I go away form the liquors I used to love for new liquors I love. Due to Happy Hour going so well we decided to stay for dinner. If you haven't gone to 1300onFillmore I suggest going, and when you go and if you go for Happy Hour make sure you get Shrimp Hush Puppies. It is my favorite appetizer on the menu, but it isn't a Happy Hour item. All I can say is we dine, we talked, we laughed all at Happy Hour. Nothing is better than sitting down with the one you love and just enjoying their company and time. That is why it is called Happy Hour.
