Hopefully there was a designated driver.
I think you might have hit on something. You didn't really explain why it was "epic". Simply mentioned a few menu items. What exactly (other than the food) about the atmosphere was so appealing that you want to re-create? It might help with suggestions. To your point, it may not matter where you go if the company is right.
dislcaimer: I've NEVER had a meal at any restaurant I'd describe as "epic".
I dont drink when I go out, too cheap for that. LOL.
