No Country for Old Men had a chance to be a special dinner. everything about it was perfect, the lighting, the ambiance, the mood, and even the service. The meal was like something we had not had in a very long time. It was something we had seen before (Fargo) but it was presented differently. With a few surprise ingredients and a random death, we switched (main characters) flavors but it was still way above decent. When the waiter finally asked us for dessert we all were clamoring for the final piece of this masterful dinner. But that's when the shitake mushrooms hit the fan.
The dessert was a chocolate souffle in theory, but it took way too long to come out (i guess that's why you order souffle when you're ordering your main course). But even when it finally did get to our table, it wasn't very good.
The chef's dessert had left all of us wanting more. The souffle was a fine idea, but it tasted bitter and awful. If we could have sent it back we would have. In this case a simple Hershey's Bar would have been sufficient enough.

There's not even an actual meal! This is a cop out. You can't just say that it was a good dinner. If you had just said a lobster dinner, I would be fine with that. Although a type of BBQ would work better.
