My actual birthday was 5/28, but Bill threw a semi-surprise party for me on Saturday night. We went to dinner at III Forks, which is a very nice steakhouse that only serves USDA prime (~2% of meat is categorized as such). I ordered the
filet mignon which was fantastic and it came with
sauteed mushrooms, mashed potatoes and sugar snap peas. I pretty much licked my plate clean. Bill order the
filet mignon oscar, which had lumps of the sweetest crab meat on top of it with asparagus spears. Our friends Dan and Dawn, originally from Michigan and newly transplanted in Dallas (yippee for us!) got the new york strip pepper steak - seasoned with 5 different peppercorns - and the crab cakes. We were not disappointed with the meal.
Afterwards, we walked to a Cuban themed bar and had pitchers of
mojitos, speciality rum and cokes, and Texas martinis. There were about 20 people there to celebrate and we had the front patio to ourselves. It faces to the street so we had drinks and a show by watching all the people coming and going downtown Austin.
It was a great night with friends. I really had fun and hats off to Bill for a spectacular evening. He even had my favorite cake there - Costco cheesecake filled white cake. Yum yum!
