I want to take my counterpart out somewhere nice but I'm trying to avoid the chain restaurants i.e Olive Garden, Cheesecake Factory etc. Money isn't an issue as I would prefer something on the fancier side anyway. She's currently on a crab cake kick (pregnancy cravings) but doesn't want seafood as an entrée so I'm left scratching my head. Any ideas?
Me and mine are going to Popeyes shicken.. Nothing says I like you, like Popeyes biscuits..
Espeto Brazilian Steakhouse. It's on the high side but hey all you can eat steak, chicken, lamb, and salmon with sides for about $50 a head (minus alcoholic beverages) you really can't beat it.


If you want something less meaty, Oilo is now open on Friday and Saturday nights now. One of the few restaurants other than Fionn MacCools that I like downtown.

We'll if I can pull off this date without a hitch I might be able to put a little honey on my biscuit... B)

Not sure about the crab cakes, but i like chart house. Pretty interesting architecture and u can get a decent veiw of the river. My gf and i went there last year for our anniversary, probably would have done it again this year but i think that would have been lazy.

She's pregnant...you've already had your biscuit buttered lately! :thumbsup:



Orsay's is really good too.
We're going to Ruth Chris on Friday.  I got a pretty good reservation time.

 

Thanks day care for parents night out!

I always found that making dinner myself on V-day got me way more rewards than buying dinner..

I know right? The lobster pot pie is such a wonderful thing.

Normally that would be my go to. But we haven't really gotten to go out in a while so this would be a change up for us.
As payment for moving my folks into our house we got babysitters for the night! First time out with the wife in 2 years, we went to our big night place longhorn. I'm not gonna lie we splurged I got the 17oz renegade and lobster tail but man was it nice!

Sounds like you had a nice evening out!

Sounds nice Eric. Longhorns is one of my favorite spots. The entire wait staff knows be my name I'm there so much. It doesn't hurt that I tip well too I'm sure.
So I ended up taking her to Mitchell's. We had a wonderful time and she enjoyed the crab cakes!
