On Friday, John and I had a very relaxed and chill date night. Our night started with eating dinner at Hook Line and Sinker, a casual seafood restaurant, which is located in uptown Dallas. Before going, we checked out the Yelp review which ranks it as a 4 out of 5. We both had their fried jumbo shrimp basket, it came with delicious french fries and hush puppies; for drinks we both ordered beers. The place resembled a fishing dock shack with limited indoor and outdoor seating. The atmosphere was very nice and cozy and the food was affordable but delicious. We made the mistake of going on a Friday during lent, which meant there was a huge line, but the wait staff was very fast and turned the tables quickly. It was definitely worth the wait! Our total dinner tab was $25.43 (alcoholic beverages $2.50/ each).
After dinner we headed for a fun and competitive round of golf at Top Golf driving range. Top Golf is known not only for it’s cool environment, but also for their technology features. Each golf ball has a microchip,each tee box has a computer monitor, and the entire range is monitored by technology so that when you hit the ball you can track the exact distance and location.
(Daniel’s Note: Top Golf may be one of the coolest things to do in Dallas, and there are only two other places in the US to do it! They have a full bar, with wait staff that comes to your tee box; the ability to play games and compete against each other is amazing)
All this technology enables you to play games against each other driving for distance or hitting targets. We played one round, and of course I beat John! … Not true but it was close. During our round of golf we shared a milk shake, that was brought to our tee-box by one of the awesome wait staff. One round of golf for each was $3.80; the total expense at Top Golf was $11.60.
Our total cost for the night was: $ 37.03

That sounds like an awesome date, even though a gentleman should let his lady friend beat him in videogames.

That sounds like fun at a bargain price! Next time me and my SO are in Dallas, we will give this date a try. I might need some golf lessons, though.
