After having one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had, and writing a review that got people talking, I was thrilled to be invited to The Woodlands Eatery Food and Wine Pairing Evening. Full disclosure, I was quite ashamed of the comments my previous post got. I really wanted the focus to be on the delicious food and the restaurant itself, but that wasn’t the case. I thought I’d blown it, and it left me feeling embarrassed to go back, which would have been a great shame because the food is absolutely amazing. To my surprise, I got a message from Woodlands thanking me for the positive feedback, asking if I’d like to be a part of their event. I don’t know if I was more relieved or excited, but it was a big yes for me!
