Date night took place on Shelter Island, a neighborhood in San Diego, California. Shelter Island has a yacht club, hotels, restaurants, a marina, an outdoor concert venue and celebrated pieces of public art. We dined at Humphrey's Backstage Live which is a lounge situated on the water offering live concerts, a daily happy hour, a full bar and several menu items to choose from. Greeting us when we walked into Humphrey's Backstage Live was an upbeat crowd-loving live band, followed by 3 more that evening. We dined on appetizers with our cocktails, consisting of Jumbo Shrimp Skewers, Sweet Potato Tots, and Basil Hummus.

 Although I am not a fan of anything sweet potato, my husband very much is andsweet_potato_fritter_smaller said the Sweet Potato Tots were very good. Served in a miniature wire fry basket, the tots were accompanied by a spicy curry dip which my husband also deemed very good. Normally, tater tots can be bland but according to my husband, by providing a spicy curry dip with a sweet tater tot, they created an extremely yummy creation.

The Basil Hummus was just okay. I did not find it to provide anything special outside of how one would expect hummus to taste. The presentation, however, was creative and extremely pleasing to the eye, offering lots of dipping items for the hummus.

We really enjoyed the Jumbo Shrimp Skewers. They were very smokey and had a little blackened taste to them that was not over powering. Served on a bed of slaw, they were drizzled with a green sauce that had a garlic peppery taste which was out of sight!

Super fun evening and a great place to go for date night!
