There’s nothing like a cozy date night with your favorite person, especially when delicious food and seasonal cocktails are involved! Over the weekend, the hubby and I had the pleasure of stopping by Marlow’s Tavern to check out their fall menu, and let me tell you, our taste buds were in for a treat!
Now, if you’ve ever moved into a new place, you already know how exhausting that can be! Between packing, unpacking, organizing, and trying to get everything situated, your girl was TIRED! So after a long weekend of moving, the last thing I wanted to do was cook. A relaxing dinner with my hubby sounded like the perfect way to unwind, and Marlow’s Tavern was just what we needed!
Firecracker Shrimp
Starting Things Off With a Little Spice!
We kicked off our dining experience by sharing the Firecracker Shrimp appetizer. I love a good shrimp dish, especially when it has a little kick to it! It was a tasty way to get things started, and trust me, we came ready to eat!
For my entrée, I went with the Classic Cheeseburger, served with a side of fresh fruit. Now, I’ve been trying my best to make healthier food choices, but sometimes a girl just wants a juicy cheeseburger! And after all that moving, I felt like I deserved one, lol!
I figured ordering fruit on the side was a nice little compromise. It’s all about balance, right?
Meanwhile, my hubby decided to try MT’s Croque Madame, a hearty choice that was right up his alley. We both arrived with serious appetites, and our meals definitely hit the spot!

Sipping on Seasonal Cocktails
Of course, we couldn’t explore the fall menu without checking out a couple of the specialty cocktails!
I tried the Ancho Pineapple Margarita, which was refreshing and full of flavor. I don’t drink much, but I do enjoy trying a fun specialty cocktail every now and then, especially when there’s a fruity twist involved!
My husband ordered the S’mores Old Fashioned, which sounded like the perfect fall-inspired drink. He really enjoyed it and said it was quite tasty!
I love how restaurants get creative with their seasonal drink menus. It’s those little touches that make a casual dinner feel like a special occasion.

Saving the Best for Last: Dessert!
Now, y’all already know I have an insane sweet tooth, so dessert is ALWAYS one of my favorite parts of dining out!
I couldn’t resist trying the Caramelized Apple Terrine. Apples and caramel are such a classic fall combination, and this dessert was a lovely way to embrace the season.
My hubby went with the Carrot Cake, another sweet treat that felt just right for autumn.
Between the appetizers, entrées, cocktails, and desserts, we had ourselves a full-on feast! Everything was delicious, and we left happy, satisfied, and ready to relax after our busy weekend.

And after our weekend of moving, this little dinner date was exactly what the hubby and I needed. Good food, great company, and a chance to sit back and enjoy each other’s company. Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the sweetest memories!
