Good food

Restaurant Week came to a close this weekend, and we intended to take full advantage of it by hitting Sam and Harry's with IA and McHub. We got all dressed up to the nines, and Aaron even left his sling at home (with the doc's ok, of course). We finally got to see the inside of IA and McHub's apartment, and had some really good brie and wine as our pre-game.

McHub graciously drove to the restaurant, which we found with little difficulty and even managed to find some decent street parking.

Our waitress was great - very friendly and really knew her stuff. Unfortunately for our wallets, none of us ended up ordering from the restaurant week menu. I had some amazing pinot noir, which, along with the creme brulee, was the highlight for me. Aaron's calamari was very good, but I could have done without the crab and red pepper soup.

My filet mignon was cooked perfectly, although not seasoned at all. McHub had some decadent version of the filet - bone in, with a stilton crust. Delish! IA's crabcakes looked great but I was too full to taste them. Aaron had a NY Strip au poivre which was good, and he'll be eating the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I'm guessing he will say the red potatoes were his highlight - they were made with jalapenos, so how can you go wrong?

It was way more expensive that we intended it to be, but it was worth it to get dressed up and treat ourselves and have some great conversation with great friends!
