cafe ba ba reeba

i'm so honored that prettystanley invited me to do a guest post. and i hope you enjoy it! i had the pleasure of meeting up with a group of 5 girls for dinner and drinks at lincoln park's own cafe ba ba reeba. we were nestled away tucked in the back corner of the restaurant. the restaurant was dimly lit. our waiter was patient and very attentive. spanish tapas is perfect when you can't decide what you want to eat. we ordered the world:

• bacon wrapped dates
• goat cheese+tomato sauce
• tomato bread+machego cheese
• grilled shrimp in garlic sauce
• giant crab cake
• chicken kabobs
• spicy potatoes
• paella with shrimp and scallops
• 2 pitchers of sangria! white peach + blue raspberry

all the dishes we ordered were fairly small but enough to share between 6 girls. i never got sick of anything especially because it was just a small portion of this and that. the paella was perfect and had tons of seafood. the drinks were light and fruity and of course dangerous to a light weight like myself. i was definitely feeling the buzz as we finished off our 2nd pitcher. this is a great place for an intimate date, a family affair, or a girls night out! come hungry and leave a bit tipsy. definitely try the sangria, it's amazing!
