The Most Delightful Dinner

Last night for our anniversary dinner Steven and I went to Mark's on Westheimer.

It is a converted church and absolutely beautiful. Steven and I rarely go to upscale restaurants so I was a little intimidated when we first got there, but let me tell you, we had one of our finest dates ever.

We had a nice time being out dressed up (which we just don't do much of anymore since I became queen of stay home on the weekends) and the food was to die for. Mark's Caesar Salad was so good with the yummiest little bacon bits. I had the grilled prime sirloin steak and I have never had a steak that was so good in my entire life. Steven had the five pepper crusted Scottish salmon and while he loved it, he loved my steak even more and graciously helped me eat it. :-)

After the entrees we ordered the warm chocolate cake served with a German coconut pecan icing, vanilla ice cream, and crackle fudge sauce. Yummy. Next time I want to try the peanut butter sundae with cocoa malt ice cream, chocolate crackle, and studded with handmade chocolate peanut butter cream cookies.

The prices were a bit high, but not not bad considering we had drinks and dessert as well. We have definitely found a restaurant to celebrate special occasions in. Wonder if he'd want to go there for his birthday in January? :-)

I love getting all dressed up and going out to a nice dinner like that.

We went there a last month for a friend's birthday (Robert or 'Boobka') and it was also our 1st time. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
