My husband and I talked about going to a very special place for our first wedding anniversary on May 2nd. After reviewing our favorite places in town and also the places we didn't know yet but were craving to try, Spago made it to the top of our list.

We got more and more excited as the big day was getting closer, to the point where we already knew which wine we would order a solid two weeks prior to our dinner.

We arrived at the restaurant a little late but still got welcomed like very special guests. We got seated by the right end of the main dining room, not far from the window. The room must have been redone pretty recently as everything looked very modern and untouched.

Being a fish lover, I got started with the chirashi box. My husband got the mushroom soup with truffles. Both amazing starters, probably among the best we've ever had. I just wish the portions were a little bigger, but I guess that's what always happens when you get such excellent food.

After such a great start, I continued with the sauteed scallops with squid, clams and...chorizo (yes, chorizo!). I would have NEVER ordered fish AND chorizo at any other place but I thought it was the perfect place to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did. The chorizo gave a unique exquisite taste to the dish, making it an unforgettable experience. My husband had the rack of Colorado lamb and absolutely loved it too.

We eventually shared the chocolate souffle with mascarpone for dessert. Not the best thing we had that night even if it was still way better than most chocolate souffles you'll find in town.

A magical experience overall, well worth the wait and the price. We may even make it a ritual for all our future wedding anniversaries! Thank you, Mr. Puck!
