Anniversary Weekend Part 1
So the Mrs. and I celebrated 5 years together on September 22nd. Frankly, we needed an excuses to pawn the little man off on the grandparents and kick up our heels a bit. Here's what went down...
Morton's
I actually shut down my laptop on time. While Jen dropped dude off at grandma and grandpa's I managed to work out at the YMCA and was ready to leave at 6:15. We made it down town by for our 7:00 reservation at Morton's Steakhouse with about 3 minutes to spare. I've been fortunate enough to have eaten at all of the finer steakhouses in Minneapolis on several occasions: Morton's, Murray's, Manny's and Ruth's Chris. While Manny's probably has a better menu and a more ballsy "In your face" attitude, you can't beat Morton's for a romantic dinner.
We coudl have been seated immediately, but we opted to wait in the bar for a booth to open up. Two drinks, two salads, and half a dozen oysters later, the main course arrived. Our filets were perfectly done with both temperature and flavor. They were slightly charred on the outside and not smothered in butter like I've had them at Murray's. It was like eating a river of velvet. I had a crab cake the size of my fist and Jen devoured 3 large shrimp that weren't half bad for shrimp. I'm not a fan. I can't get past the texture. Anyway, we topped off the evening with some of Morton's famous molten chocolate cake. It's a warm chocolate cake with a liquid chocolate center served with strawberries and ice cream. It was simply awesome. It's worth a trip there just for the cake. The good people at Morton's even sent us away with a massive piece of key lime pie on the house as an anniversary present.
Five stars to the people at Morton's in Minneapolis for their prompt service, excellent food preparation, and professional yet elegant atmosphere. It's the best steak experience in the twin cities.
