Sort of Exciting, but Probably Only to Me

So last night I went to Yia Yia's in New Overland Park. If you don't know about it, it's the pretentious little restaurant on 119th and Nall that claims to be a "eurobistro". Redundant. Anyway, I went because my friend Alyssa is a big ol' ball a preggo and she's set to pop next weeks so we thought it'd be good to enjoy one last evening of childless dining. I ordered this ridiculous grilled salmon salad. Baby greens mixed with gorgonzola, spiced walnuts, dried cranberries tossed in a pommery vinaigrette (Wtf that is!?) all topped off with a beautifully grilled piece of fresh alaskan salmon(ella). MMMMM so good. Out of respect for Alyssa's current state as heavenly vessel, we opted not to drink, so i'm sorry...there will be no drunken tales to tell...This time. Our waiter was kind of a tool. He kept adding commentary everytime we ordered something. I'm sorry, i want a salad...not your freaking life story or you affinity for candy bars and milk (GOD!!! right!?). Anyway, Yia Yia's is a lovely little restaurant if you're into adventurous meals and high prices. Oh...Dessert is a must. I'm not even going to describe to you how delicious their creme brulee is, but let's just say i may have found jesus last night. Thanks for reading!!!
