During the cold and messy Maine winter, it’s easy to get cabin fever from feeling stuck inside your home. Cuddling on the couch and eating delivery pizza is fun, but it can get boring after a while. Whether you couldn’t make it out on Valentine’s Day, or you’re just looking for more reasons to get out of the house, a dinner date at Elsmere is the perfect cure for the winter blues.
The Dreaded V-Word
Unfortunately for Mainers, going out isn’t as simple as it sounds. First you have to shovel the driveway, clear the snow off the car, then brave the treacherous drive. Once you’ve arrived at the restaurant you should finally feel a sense of relief; but then you remember… you’re at a BBQ restaurant and your date doesn’t eat meat! Whether your love has committed to a new meatless lifestyle, or your Tinder date is a dedicated veggie lover, you can enjoy your night out with meals you’ll both love at Elsmere.
Great Food = Great Date
If blizzards and excessive layered clothing weren’t enough of a roadblock in your winter love life, dating someone whose diet differs from yours can be a struggle. Portland, Maine has lots of restaurants, but it’s nearly impossible to find one that has tempting options for both carnivores and herbivores. Here at Elsmere, we believe that if you’ve taken the time to shovel, bundle up, and brave the slippery streets, then you both deserve a meal that will make you glad you got out of the house.
