I went to a nice steak house called Arnie Morton's with TY last night. I entered from the street level and went down to its lower level where the restaurant was. It was a posh, upscale steak house with courteous and attractive wait staff and comfortable seating. Lots of wine bottle set-ups as main decoration, enhanced by warm welcoming lighting and uplifting fancy atmosphere, I could tell dining here was going to be pricey. Fortunately we had this coupon for "dinner for two" so at least the meal was at a discount. I saw other customers got to have their food shown / introduced by their waiter, we didn't get that service because most of our options was already preset by the coupon.
We started with 2 glasses of B.V. red wine. I didn't know what B.V. stood for, it was the first one on the wine list and TY just ordered that. The house onion bread smelled yummy and tasted good when it was warm. We then both had Morton's salad. The blue cheese dressing was nice, however I didn't really understand the anchovy on top, it just made the salad saltier. Overall it was a cold and satisfying salad. For the main course we both had filet, cooked medium, I added a crab cake for mine while TY had butter shrimps. I had to say the crab cake and the giant shrimps were excellent. They were even tastier than the steak! I don't know, I guess I just don't have that finer pallet.
We chatted about his trip and his work. And of course he congratulated me on my green card. We finished the meal with two different desserts, a hot chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side and a key lime pie. I actually ended up eating the chocolate cake alone because TY was too full after his cappuccino. It was a delicious, gooey cake. Yum! But I couldn't even touch the pie afterwards, so I had it boxed to go.
I came home and went back out to Target to get some big size envelops for mailing out resumes. I sent out my first application package at the post office, went home, left again to go to the gym. It was a full, productive, wonderful evening.

how busy was it there? ws it full? i want to check out the $99 steak and seafood deal too. thanks
It was surprisingly full on a Tuesday night. I would highly recommend making a dinner reservation a day ahead. FYI, parking is $6.00 flat rate across the street or you can choose the restaurant's own valet, same price.
