Valentine's Day

I had the best Valentine's Day EVERRRRR! Not only did I spend it with the love of my life - Leroy, and got a great gift - a custom gift basket, I ate in the finest restaurant in Houston - Trulucks.



I think in my former life I was a foodie - a chef, Director of Catering, or something like that. I am obsessed with great food, relaxing atmosphere and above all... GREAT SERVICE.

This restaurant has all of the above and then some. I have never had better... and I have eaten all over the US... I ordered the crab cakes (all lump - no filler), grilled asparagus (deeeeelish), and sweet potato fries with honey butter dipping sauce. We chose the Sycamore House Chardonnay (bottle) to accompany our meal. For dessert, we shared the carrot cake. They bring it to the table, then pour warm caramel sauce on top and sprinkle sweet pralines on the cake. It was sooooo good... we tried to finish it but couldn't.




This was only my second time dining here and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The service was fast and knowledgeable and the food was impeccable and extremely tasty!!! This is not your average place, so be prepared to spend around $150 per couple on average. (NO IMAGINARY PLAYAS!!!)

Other items I would recommend from my first dining experience or from Leroy's plate:

The Florida Stone Crab



The Stuffed Red Snapper
Stuffed Snapper


They have locations in TX and FL so be sure to check them out. http://trulucks.com/home.php
