birthday celebration. my beautiful wife, denise and i went to the dallas fish market to celebrate her birthday last night. we made our reservation on line for 7:00pm. we arrived at 6:50 and were seated immediately at a table for 4. the room was dimly lit but had a view of the street so you didn't feel like you were sitting in a cave. the décor is upscale and the restaurant was clean. unfortunately, the lavatories were in need of attention.
katy, our server, was very prompt and friendly. she brought my wife and i our waters and immediately returned with complimentary glasses of champagne to toast her birthday. it was dead on 7:00pm when katy took or order. i then ordered my wife a glass of wine and myself a cup of unembellished black coffee. my wife and i find most portions to be too large for one person, so we usually split a main entre. we ordered the surf and turf (steak on garlic and onion mashed potato), one caesar salad and the asian sautéed vegetables. she returned shortly afterwards with individual sharp cheese and chive biscuits with a butter and honey spread. which went quite well with the clean smooth house coffee. it's nice to have agoodcup of coffee that is not over roasted or so strong you need to have your teeth bleached afterwards. she said the coffee was an italian blend called lavazza. a little later katy returned with complimentary lobster lollipops. at first i thought it was due to my wifes birthday. but looking around i could see that other tables were also enjoying the lobster lollipops as well. which were somewhat like a small lobster corny dog on a stick. the main entre arrived at 7:30 short the asian sautéed vegetables. since it appeared that we might have over ordered we cancelled the veggies. the steak was cooked as ordered, rare. it was tender, tasty and not over seasoned, great balance. after we had finished katy returned to remove our plates and to present my wife with a complimentary crème brule with red and blue berries adorning the top. the final bill was $78.37. this is a restaurant i would recommend and will be returning with friends again.
