Not the end of the world, do what you have to do to enjoy life a little, it will keep you on the diet long term. Biggest thing is no Dessert late in the day, even when you are allowed to have it on certain days.

Biggest probelm I see is the order and timing of the rest of the day. What I have done is modified it like this when having my freebie at dinner:

Shake early in the day
Nuts 3 hours later
Protein Meal Lunch ("regular" burn day dinner, lean protein greens, etc)
Apples 30 minutes before dinner
Pig out 30 minute dinner
Veggies later at night if hungry.

Stuff like this happens - to me too - but I see a couple of things you could do better: nr 1 is the garlic bread! I'm pretty sure it was white bread too, right!? Since you went to an Italian restaurant, next time have their chicken parmesan or some other lean protein, ask for less cheese on it! Do not take pasta or rice that late in the day, I don't care if it's feed meal, that late you do not need starches. Starches are for energy, and all you'll do after a dinner is relax and sleep. Have a salad with the dressing on the side (not Caesar, that's way too many calories in one plate even if we don't really count calories), steamed or grilled veggies (most restaurants have that); and still enjoy your meal out.

Wine? 1 glass/week is fine if you feel your meal isn't complete without it. My husband usually pours me one and I manage to pour it back into his glass if we're out, or freeze it for a gravy if we're home.
