Dinner

 We made reservations and had a 'ladies' night out at a really FINE restaurant in LeClaire, Iowa just north of Davenport about 5 miles at Steventon's.. this was the view from our window seat. It was WONDERFUL!!!!  Yes, THAT is the mighty Mississippi!!

 Carol and I had filet mignon and Parmesan risotto that was to die for!!!  Creamy and slightly crunchy... filet done just so.  We started with crab cakes, but did not get a picture of those before they were eaten!!!.  White wine for me,  martini for Patti and long island iced tea for Carol..... great bread served with the dinner, warm.... 3 different kinds of butter.....
 Patti's salmon and grilles asparagus, she said was done to perfection...





The left over filet  :)  Then we shared cherries jubilee.. it was really good too!!!  Quite the procedure to get that- made at the table.. the waiter told us each step he was taking....  he was moving right along and had a hard time getting a picture without him moving....
 Here it is.... it tasted really good and the presentation was wonderful.. even tho the end result does not look like a whole lot  :)

Here we are,  Carol on the left, me in the middle and Patti on the right....  a GREAT time was had by all...  it was great fun, stories, laughs,  food, drink and a dessert, with wonderful friends!!!!
Great start to a great vacation..............
Take Care and God Bless

  3. I'd have to go for the salmon and asparagus, but the filet sure looked good as well. I love the Mississippi River - and consider it the "river of all rivers in the U.S, Great picture.

  4. That filet looks perfectly cooked. And that dessert - wow. Good company along with that and a view to die for - not much more you can ask for.

  5. Oh, wow, that filet dinner looks wonderful. And the dessert! What a meal. I love salmon, and it looks great, too, but in a restaurant like that, I always order a filet. Definitely looks like you all had a great time. :)
