Meyer & Meyer Restaurant = AMAZING!

To celebrate Valentine's Day 2012 (our 6th edition)...we decided to do something we love doing (eating) and try something that we are working on (cooking together). A lot of thought went into this and of course, a lot of LOVE! For a few weeks we worked on our meal plan, decided the night and set the stage for this amazing evening...we even spruced ourselves us (YES, the manolos made an appearance).

Cocktail hour was set for 7 with dinner, dessert and dancing to follow!

A pre-shot of the table...nothing to fancy, just perfect for US! A nice bottle of wine, the fancy glasses, and candles!


An up close look at the MENU...my mouth is still watering at how amazing it all came together and how great it paired with our wine and cocktail selection!
Rich getting his "cook-on"!

A shot of the CREME BRULEE (pre-bake).

The cocktail hour began with a twist on an old favorite...the OLD-FASHIONED...but made with MEYER sparkling lemon (instead of soda).


And YES, they tasted as good as they looked!

First up, a spinach pomegranate salad tossed with a balsamic vinegarette (including walnuts, feta, sprouts and more love)!

The wine was decanting as we put the finishing touches on the main course!

Chukar could not be reached for comment...but wanted us to have a nice romantic night together!

ONE WORD = YUM!!!

The salad was ready and so were our bellies....

The steak "rested" as we enjoyed our salads and a nice relaxing evening....

With the steak and lobster, we decided on a creamed spinach (Rich was a little apprehensive - but he gave it the Meyer seal of approval)!

Plated and ready to enjoy!

Dinner is served!

After dinner, we relaxed for a bit and let the music take over!

To cap off the night...we ended with a delicious Champagne cocktail and dessert...


Did I mention that dessert was homemade Creme Brulee!


Wah-la...an amazing night! Chukar's face says it all! He was happy we stayed in...and ready to retire for the night!

I must say, I think we outdid ourselves!

PERFECTION...

Happy Valentine's Day to all you LOVERS out there!
