That dinner sounds absolutely wonderful! Glad you two had such a great time celebrating your anniversary.
But, c'mon...nobody would be THAT dumb.
Your dinner looks amazing! Sounds like awesome service as well.
Still trying to figure out why you didn't go for the bacon sundae.
Too bad the fireworks were cancelled and it rained. Sounds like a lovely anniversary anyway!
Ok, here's my take on the dinner. You basically got a Vic and Al's experience for the price of a two-fer. Which is a pretty major score. However, if you don't specifically go to Hilton Head and pay the cost of getting there, then Vic and Al's might be a consolation prize. If that made any sense, then kudos.
".... if you like pina coladas, and taking walks in the rain"
Best part of the meal? The dishes. Those are really pretty!
Well, that and you're smiling faces. You 2 are just so dang cute!
"Dangerous" has me worried. This forum does have a family-friendly rating. Right?!
OMG AN UPDATE!!!!!!
I love that you went to the Vine! And you had such an awesome meal. That place really was lovely. I look forward to going back. All your food looks delicious. My friend Chuck had the same entree as you and he had to take a doggie bag back.
Nice to see people sitting outside as well. When we were there I don't believe anyone was outside.
Happy Holidays Glen and family. Thanks for the update!
Oy. It was a brief second, but a second nonetheless, where I originally thought the chapter title story was going one place, and then the "souvenir " remark actually made me think, wow, I could not have been more off (that brief second mentioned earlier in the extremely run-on sentence), before realizing I was did in fact see the chapter title story was going.
Sounds like a lovely anniversary dinner. It honestly doesn't look like much from the outside, but clearly, looks are very deceiving.
Bummer about the fireworks. That would have been such a lovely finale for the night. But then again, Danger is your middle name, so I'm sure all's well that ends well.
I'm glad I caught this while I was cruising the DIS (I'm so far behind...even on my own TR since my mom passed away and just can't seem to catch up).
You and Judy clean up very nice and look quite lovely in your anniversary picture.
Your meal looks quite yummy and I'm glad you were so well taken care of.
That was one hopping pirate party.
Sorry about the rain, but you got some great pictures in it.
It looks like you had an amazing evening! That dinner looked spectacular and at $200, if that included the wines by the glass, a great deal too!
Shame about the canceling of the fireworks and the thunderstorm, but sometimes it's better to spend a cozy night inside!
First of all: Congratulations to Lauren!! How exciting! I had to think of the film "Father of the Bride" with Steve Martin when I read your post... You sounded a bit like him.
The dinner looks wonderful! I love the menu and the atmosphere of the place! And for how you described the quality of everything it sounds like was well worth the price! I need to remember that place if I ever get to Hilton Head (and I really want to go, it looks so lovely and relaxing!).
I can tell it was a beautiful night, what a way to celebrate your anniversary.
But, c'mon...nobody would be THAT dumb.
Danger Will Robinson!
Wow! Sounds like MEK really hooked you guys up.
I feel like I actually understood this. I don't know if I should be happy about that or not.
The wives really seem to go for that.
We do what we have to do.
I like it!
That begs the question: What were you expecting?
She's a keeper!
I don't think the heavy stuff will come down for another couple of hours. I'd keep playing.
That dinner sounds absolutely wonderful! Glad you two had such a great time celebrating your anniversary.
So, Danger, how long ago was this trip again? Anything you need to share?
Dinner looks excellent. I'm glad that you had such great food and service for your anniversary meal. Well worth the expense for being cared for so well.
Too bad the rain kind of put an abrupt end to the evening back at the resort.
Yeah, that did kinda make sense, but since we were planning on going to Hilton Head anyway, then....it was a bonus! I haven't seen too many write-ups on Vic and Al's. I remember seeing something on one of those "Disney Magic Uncovered" tv shows (ie. one-hour infomercial, yet I'll watch many times over) that they have a chef's table thing where you are at the whim of whatever the chef wants to make for you and apparently is pretty amazing.
And even a guy like me noticed them.
Gee, that was my attempt to keep it family-friendly!
Liesa....I'll got to V&a with you. I love it there!
Jill in CO
Would you?!!
I've wanted to go there for YEARS!! I'm thinking that the first trip I take after My Graduation Celebration Trip with the family, I want to go ALL Girls. A small little group to split a room, maybe during F&G? Stay up late drinking wine, being silly on coasters.... you name it....
I would throw some DVC points down for that.

Glenn, thank you hosting the DISMeet Private Forum for me.
And for that, I may treat you to V&A's.
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship....
I know someone who sprung for that once-in-a-lifetime experience. Actually, I've known another (CircusGirl) who went there, but didn't do the Chef's Table, and she said that it wasn't necessary to having one of the most magical evenings in her life. I am contemplating doing it if I can find someone to go with me on a girl's trip sometime. We'll see...
You must have taken your knuckles off the ground for just long enough to have a spark of culture.
Oh. Ok.
Well Glenn I am caught up.
Sounds like a wonderful evening and a great dinner. Sure the rain just made the decision to be inside easier. Think of it as a push from Mother Nature.
Merry Christmas to the Glennbo clan.
Merry Christmas!!!
Hi Glenn and Happy Holidays!
I am caught back up and sounds like the trip is still going great.
We stayed in Shipyard in March and spent a lot of time at Coligny Plaza. I don't remember seeing Vine. Of course since we were covering most of the trip for five college girls that is probably a good thing.
Glad Judy figured out how to use the blow torch. I would probably burn the house down.
Looking forward to the next installment.
Liesa....I'll got to V&a with you. I love it there!

Oh - I would love to join the two of you for a lady's trip! Especially if we go to V&A. After having been blown away with the experience of dining at Remy on the Fantasy, I really want to try V&A - and the two of you would be lovely company for that! Not sure if I could work it out, considering how far away I live and that I currently trying to juggle finances and time off to make a transatlantic relationship work. But I guess you are thinking of a time frame of 2017 and beyond - so who knows what things will be like then!
(Sorry, Glen!)
Hope you enjoyed yourselves while visiting HH.
We are lucky as we can hit HH anytime.Our main Island is Tybee but we go to HH when we want a change.You can see Tybee from HH and can see HH from Tybee so its kinna nice to see diferent views
YAY!!! An update!
Although it took me a little while to find it.
In the meantime, I hope your family had a wonderful set of holidays:
Happy Thanksgiving!
Merry Christmas!
and Happy New Year!!!
Great, great update, from the opening fore-shadowing to a dramatic and exciting danger-filled conclusion. And even a math lesson!!!
Awesome picture!!!
Seriously drooling over that menu. I don't know what I would have chosen for meals- everything sounds fantastic- and I am now craving cave aged gruyere!
But youse guys done good. I approve of all of your selections.
Nicely played on the dessert- "I'll get the thing that might have gluten so I don't have to share, while I get my wife hooked on the crème brulee to the point where she will have to get the accessories to play the home version"
Happy Anniversary!!!
