Valentine's Day is the one day of the year that I avoid booking at a fancy restaurant like the plague! I'm not sure what you think, but in my experience, it's the one day of the year where there is so much pressure on a restaurant to get it right, and people's expectations are way too high. You have desperate couples looking for that perfect meal to celebrate their (sometimes) perfect relationships. I also really don't love the set menu options filled with crap that I'd normally not love to eat, all shaped like love hearts - blergh!
So we grabbed a quick pizza for Valentines day!
But this post isn't about pizza or even Valentines day, although I will admit, that it's a funny coincidence that we hit up a specialist dessert bar on that one day of the year where there is a special connection with desserts!
We were walking home from our cheep and cheerful pizza dinner, when we decided that we wanted some dessert to finish off the evening. Now, I love the pizzas at Pizza Express (see post here), but their desserts leave a lot to be desired. So, it was onto my trusty Open Rice iPhone app to see where the closest dessert bar was to our SoHo location. As luck would have it, we were only 150 meters away from Sift, and so began our decent into a sugary induced coma!
