A reverse dinner is just like it sounds- start with the dessert and then you know you will have room for the sweet stuff!
I was inspired to try this because we always wish we still had room for the dessert but usually we are too full from apps and our entrees to want anything else.
This is one of our favorite date nights that we have repeatedly recommended to others as something different and new to try. It is also a perfect summer date night because if you choose wisely, you can walk to each location.
We love being able to try multiple places in one night and take advantage of the babysitter!
Here are some of the locations and meals that we have enjoyed during our reverse dinners.
