Monday Meals
|
|
For us, Monday is usually the day we eat out. Okay, we eat out more than that, but Mondays seem to be one day we can count on. Why? We’re tired. Mondays take it out of us. They start the week and we gear up for what’s ahead. But so often, this is the day that restaurants close.
So when we find a good restaurant that’s open on Mondays, we’re always excited. We had such an experience this week. Celebrating a birthday, our good friends suggested SO as the place to go. We were told they had a good fixed price menu on Monday nights, so we were happy to oblige.
We arrived fairly early for dinner, in comparison to our usual dining time, but already there were people arriving and being seated. We haven’t been to SO in a while, so it was nice to see that it’s still thriving.
We started with champagne (of course) and were pleased by the nice fixed price menu that greeted us. You can order off the regular menu, too, so don’t worry that you won’t be able to find that perfect dish. We did both.
The steak was one of the best we’ve had. In fact, everyone enjoyed the steak, even those who didn’t order it for their own meal. We also enjoyed decadent escargot, and many orders of their very European french fries.
But dinner didn’t stop there. We enjoyed their delicious seafood fondue – that’s full of shrimp, scallops and flavor. Also brought to the table were their fish tacos – which are a great lunch or dinner option. In between the laughter and the food, we enjoyed free flowing wine and great conversation.
The restaurant was near capacity as it came time for dessert. Our group favorite, by far, was the Tres Leches cake. Moist and covered in fresh whipping cream, it was the perfect ending to a perfect evening.
Yes, we’re glad our friends suggested a Monday evening at SO. It was delightful throughout, and we look forward to going back for another fixed price feast soon.
