Best Steak in Town
It is often the case that some of the best dining choices are away from the tourist centre. Café Loetje falls in this category. It is close to the Concertgebouw and Van Gogh Museum and a thirty-minute walk from Centraal Station. This should not deter you, especially if you are a carnivore. Loetje’s ossenhaas biefstuk (filet of steak) and frites (French fries) are the best in town. The meat is so tender that you can cut it with a spoon.
What else to order? Anything that appeals to you; perhaps...

Date Night: Downtown Houston
... $1.25 each way to ride – we frequently take the train so we can enjoy a few beers during the game. Afterward, we love to grab a late, light dinner at Mia Bella Trattoria on our way home. Mia Bella is right next to the Preston Street Station platform, so the post-meal stroll back to the train is a short one.

REVIEW: Flores Restaurant – Chic Dining in Lisbon
... do it quite well.
As we were sited on a candle lighted table, neo-jazz music filled the room. The chef Luís Rodrigues made his recommendations for dinner – Roasted Monkfish for fish eaters and Thick Veal Steak for meat lovers. Still, he added, fish dishes are the mostly wanted.
Wondering if we should opt for the Degustation Menu (€45) that includes 5 favourite courses prepared by the chef, we ended following his last words and went for the wonderful Roasted Monkfish served with cashew nuts,...

Photo Credit: star5112 @ flickr
While flights of wine are common in any dining establishment, have you ever tried a steak flight? I’ve only tried it once, while I was dining in the sky, but what a perfect way to mix up your traditional steakhouse experience! Though, dining in the sky was anything but a traditional dining experience. Ireland’s Steakhouse wants to mix things up this August and will be offering dry-aged, hand-selected steak flights.

The Capital Grille is offering a $49 dinner special
... The Capital Grille, I have to remind myself that we are actually in a recession. That place is always packed. And how do they do it? You go in for dinner and you easily spend $100-$150 a person. I approached them to do an event at the restaurant probably back in September, they told me that I’d have to wait until March. Really? What are they doing that everyone else is not? That place makes me wonder, but when I heard about a $49 dinner special they are going to be offering from February 23rd...
