Heidi & I finally used the gift card that was given to us by the Brownie Run guys. The card was to a really class 5 star joint in Albany called "Angelo's 677 Prime," because it is located at 677 Broadway...I guess.
Well, I pull in to park and one of the valets comes over and says we can't park there, if I didn't want to pay for valet parking I'd have to park in the street. I look at the "valet parking service" and see that people would pull their Beemers and Lincolns up, get out and the valet would get in, drive the car no more than 3 car lengths, park it and hand the guy his keys. The guy would then hand the valet a $5 for his 'efforts'!
I thought, screw that, that fiver'll prolly buy us another glass of water....maybe two!! :biglaugh: So I parked Heidi's Camry in the street!!
It was really nice inside, lots of pretty people eating great looking food. I was there too!
I ordered a 14 oz. filet mignon with parmesan & white truffle oil steak fries, giant onion rings w/homemade ranch, 2 jumbo crab stuffed shrimp (which were nearly the size of lobster tails!) and a ginger ale.
Heidi ordered NY strip steak, grilled asparagus with pecorino (which I believe is pronounced 'pecker-ino'), a couple more crab stuffed shrimp, a sea salt baked spud and a glass of merlot.
They had Russian golden imperial osetra cavier as a special, 28oz. for a mere $260, but after much debate we passed on it! Why would anyone pay THAT kind of coin for fish eggs? :confused2:
We had a great time, sitting there with the 'privledged's folks' and badly over-ate....just like I promised. Well...I did, Heidi, of course, was much smarter and ate less than half her steak and other stuff so she will get to enjoy it all over again today....unless some starving v maxer makes off with it.:biglaugh:
It was extremely generous and kind of you guys to do that for us, thank you very much!
When I saw the amount on the gift card I thought there would be enough for us to go at least two different times.....but as it turned out, that was not true...there is nothing left! They even took the spent card! :bang head:
Truely a 'dining experience,' maybe we can all ride there on the 2010 Brownie Run, just to watch the valet's freak!!
unk:
Thanks again!!
