Okay, so I've completed a portion of the training at my new job and we all went out to dinner tonight.
You know the kind of dinner right? Everyone at the table knows that none of us are paying for dinner and only one person knows exactly how much we're allowed to spend and he slowly gets more and more nervous as the evening progresses. 馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ
Appetizers went with the servers suggestions because we were all too busy talking about the week to look at the menu.
[b][i][c=003BB2]"Angry Shrimp"[/c][/i][/b] Two plates ordered. Spicy hot but very nicely done and balanced. I liked. [sep]
[b][i][c=003BB2]"Tuna Tartare"[/c][/i][/b] I'm not generally a fan of tartares but I did try a little. It was okay. [sep]
[b][i][c=003BB2]"American Wagyu Carpaccio"[/c][/i][/b] What can I say... Manna from heaven![/center][/quote]
This was a steak house, but really high end. If you're thinking Capital Grille or Morton's, then you're not thinking high enough. A filet was $75, the bone-in ribeye was $92. They even offered this like cave man thing that came from the kitchen on a hook, was seared at the table, then cut and served. It was $260. No, we didn't get that.
[b][i][c=003BB2]"Truffle Mac 'n Cheese" [/c][/i][/b] The sides were all family style for the table. This one was ... amazing ... yes, I know I over use that word, but this time I really mean it.
[b][i][c=BF0000]"Sara's Plate" [/c][/i][/b] As I said, I ordered the filet, medium rare (as the chef suggested). The mashed potatoes were from another of the family style sides. I had those and some of the truffle mac 'n cheese and I also had some asparagus. [/center][/quote]
Yes, we ordered dessert as well but I didn't get pics. I shared a "skillet chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream. I think I had two bites.
Right now I'm so full I'm gonna need to run two marathons tomorrow!
That's what I did tonight. What did you do?

Sanitised a very grubby 12 yo and her school uniform after her hockey match. Read a chapter of [i]Little Women[/i] together. Hot chocolate and early to bed 馃槉
I once went to a Lebanese restaurant on work time. Didn't know anything about the cuisine, so asked the waiter to choose for me up to my expenses budget. It was one of the best meals ever, but very spicy and I didn't sleep a wink afterwards 馃槀
@SunshineGirl Nice! So your 12 yr old plays hockey? Very cool! :)
That's a great way to dine. I love asking a server to just make the choices for me. Of course, sometimes that means you get something outside your comfort zone. Spicy meals can do that to me too, but I figure one night of sleep versus a new culinary/cultural experience ... I'll give up the night sleep every time. :)
