Recently, we have gone out to eat to celebrate one occasion or another. The following are just as honest as the rest of this blog. I don't get paid to advertise.
Blackstone's Pub & Grill- http://www.blackstonesgrill.com/
Imagine. Valentine's Day. Cold Windy. Dark. The BF parallel parked the truck in downtown Flint. The city, I hear is so horrific, is now quiet and illuminated. Just as we are about to get out of the vehicle a bum has the audacity to try to beg for change. That was the only one I seen all night. Hand and hand we briskly walk out of the alleyway listening to my heels clink with every step. Freeing our bodies from the chill we step into the restaurant. Quickly the hostess seat us at a dirty table. Not once did someone come by and clean the table. Other tables all around us are dressed with the proper holiday trimmings. We took off our coats and also noticed quite the draft. Not a word comes out of our mouths. We watch individuals attempt to parallel park on the cobblestone street. The most entertaining part was two people hitting other vehicles. Our food arrives. Nice and warm. Chicken Piccata and Sirloin Steak. I know the name sounds amazing, but low and behold the food was not the best. Honestly. For the Chicken Piccata dish, the noodles were extremely dry, and to find the capers and artichoke hearts a person would have to dig quite deep into the dish. The breaded chicken was delightful. The Steak meal. Oh the Steak. Was cooked to perfection, with the exception of the extremely salty sauce they topped it off with. If it was for the waiters exceptional customer service, I would have been Highly irate. Just saying. It was Valentine's Day.
Lucky's Steak House of Clio- http://www.luckyssteakhouse.com/index.htm
Not being Valentine's Day I don't have so much detail to remember. But we did wait close to 1/2 hour in an extra large waiting area that could have been used for more dining area. (We had just left Menards with a flooring project in hand wanting to eat some good fast food.) The food was AMAZING! The BF got Grilled Salmon, and I Maryland Chicken. (Can you tell I do not fancy red meat?) Parmesan crusted chicken baked with shrimp and crab meat, grilled asparagus and lobster cream sauce. UMMM =] I was way too busy in heaven to try the Salmon. The alcoholic owner didn't do bad picking this one out.
