Valentines Day dinner at a steakhouse

Tweet

For Valentines Day hubby surprised me with dinner at Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse in Manhattan. This is not the place you go to often unless you happen to be rich because it is a $$$$ restaurant. They even take a deposit when you make a reservation, according to what hubby told me. Service there was top-notch. No one rushed us, even though hubby was told over the phone that the time limit is 1.5 hours when he called to make a reservation. And the wait to get the food was not long at all. We didn't order any appetizers and went straight for the steak. Hubby had a 22 ounce bone-in prime ribeye. I had the 24 ounce prime porterhouse. And for the sides we ordered mac-n-cheese and asparagus. The meat was perfect medium rare. Each bite was delicious. Doesn't come anywhere near homemade steak or steaks we had in other restaurants. You definitely get what you pay for. The steaks were so big we couldn't even finish them and took them home. It will be tonight's dinner. We shared a bottle of California's Pinot Noir wine and had two cappuccinos and warm banana bread with vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was so good. This steakhouse outing was definitely something I didn't expect. I'd definitely go back there some time in the future. It is well worth it.
