Dining DeLuxe . . .

Last night Judie and I dined out at St Emillion French restaurant in Fort Worth.  We had been chasing around reservations with our neighbors and late in the day, our neighbor developed an allergic reaction to a medicine and had to decline. So we called to make changes in reservations.

So we checked into the restaurant and found all early bird specials were long gone for Tuesday and only an 8:15 PM slot was available.  So on a whim we decided to accept the late dinner invitation and go.

We arrived a few minutes early but our table was available and we began our gourmet journey.  The place was small cozy and kind of noisy but after awhile we sort of provided us with an insulation from other diners.

We ate on table cloths, used cloth napkins and the wine menu was on a MAC tablet.  The menu was of course printed but there was a complete chalk board of specials to go with the menu.  We decided to select off the menu, I had the steak and Judie had the Salmon.  We had an "Atlantic Salad" that we shared.  It was a salad with sea food on it.  It had oysters, crab meat and a crab roll of sorts.  All served on a bed of greens with a vinaigrette dressing.  Very good.

It took about an hour and forty five minutes from beginning to end.  And it was worth it.  Pricey, yes, but one of a kind in a totally western town where Bar B Que reins.

We are returning next week with our neighbors.  And there were no children to bother us.  No teenagers anywhere and the average age of the attends was probably over 50.  Our kind of place.
