This evening, Mal and I finally went to Alba, an upscale Mediterranean Steakhouse in Quincy Center. Alba has been on our list for years now. Seriously, we’ve been talking about going for as long as I can remember.
It’s sort of funny that we waited so long to go because Alba has an amazing roof deck, which is soĀ random uncommon for the Quincy area.
The roof deck was so cool… and huge!! We’ll definitely be back before the cold weather hits.
While enjoying the awesomeness of the roof deck, we enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
I’m really digging “mineral-y” white wines lately.
Mal and I also snacked on an order of fried calamari with pickled jalapeĆĀ±os, red bell pepper, and chipotle aioli as well as some sliced sourdough with butter.
Life is good.
Especially when you get to hang out with this guy! š
I’m chilling with M & m for the rest of the evening.
I’m loving Labor Day this year! š

Yum! I love calamari!
Looks like such a nice date night- Alba looks like the perfect place to enjoy the rest of the warm weather! Glad you had fun š
not a huge fan of calamari but i love it fried!
What a wonderful roof top location! Have fun!
Looks like a great date night! Enjoy your husband tonight!
What a beautiful and fun date! Have a great night š
I’m glad you had a wonderful date night with Mal and finally were able to try Alba. There are so many restaurants on my list FOREVER that I have yet to try here in Portland, Oregon (my hometown). I need to just go sometime! š
Sounds like a fabulous date night. I love dining outdoors and the comfortable atmosphere it provides. Perfect for great conversation. š
I love Alba.Be sure to get there during the winter….they have an amazing lobster risotto and a very yummy creme brulee.
Happy Labor Day!
You guys seem so in love.
You both seem like very cool people.
Just had to say that, I don’t comment much, but think it.
It looks like such a gorgeous night there. Beautiful!
What a great date night!!! I agree that you guys look so in love and that you actually really enjoy each other’s company!!! I know that seems funny because you are married, but my husband and I are very similar to you guys and we meet a lot of couples that don’t seem like they even like each other!!!
I love your attitude today!!! So bright and optimistic!! š
I think Quincy is a neighborhood to check out! Have you been to Marina Bay yet?
What a cool looking place! Perfect for date night š Rooftop dinner and all. Hope u guys have a great night!
Love the shades!
I love the idea of a rooftop deck! What a great way to attract guests! š
Cute date night – it’d be awesome to go to a restaurant you’ve ALWAYS wanted to go to. So much fun! (M&m – hehe.)
Rooftop desks are SO cool. They really encourage them in our architecture classes š
what a cool place! looks neat!
you guys are so cute…i hope you never ever stop having date nights! š
I love date nights š
Rooftop decks can be so romantic. It has been really nice and cool here in MN and I would love to eat dinner outside more — the breeze just refreshes me!
Fun! Any word on your guys’ last house bid? I hope it works out! š
you guys are so darn cute together!!
roof top seating = fantastic! Looks like a great time!
You and Mal are my Brangelina haha. You guys really are very cute together š
Have a great long weekend!
your photography is so wonderful lately!
Oooh, pickled jalapenos must play off the fried calamari so well! What a fun date night š
Like the roof top deck! What fun!
i want green bell pepper…hmmm…
restaurants with roof top deck should have basements for winter…don’t you think? š
happy labor day! š
that roof deck looks perfect for a beautiful night
Restaurants that gave great outdoor seating are the best – this is the perfect time of year!
I love it when restaurants have gorgeous patios like that!
Gorgeous photos! Yesterday was such a beautiful day!
What a lovely evening with your husband! And you’ve made me crave calamari, and it’s only 9:30 a.m. ahaha
What a fabulous date night :)!
looks yummy. After seeing your second picture I want to run out and get myself a drumstick afterwards. I’m on a cab kick… deep red wines are making me happy, but we generally eat red meat if we eat meat and a merlot or cab just seems right.
Love date night.
I love that you show that you guys live healthy but still enjoy real food and good wine š
Looks like a cute place for a date š
