DINNER IN THE CITY

On Saturday, we we went to dinner with some of our good friends. It is our FAVORITE place to go when we want an AWESOME prime rib dinner! It's in San Francisco, so we don't go there too often, but it's definitely a place you want to go to for a special occasion. We're probably better off with it not being too close to home or else we'd probably eat there more often! My pictures really don't do it any justice, but the ambiance, food, and the service always exceeds our expectations. I love it because it's so laid back and you have people wearing jeans and t-shirts, to suits and ties. If you are ever in the city, you definitely need to try The House Of Prime Rib. If you check out their website, they were also featured on The Food Network, and the PBS Channel.

We had early reservations, so after dinner we drove over to Fisherman's Wharf so we could get dessert at Ghiradelli Square. We also walked around a little bit, and the weather was surprisingly cool. Typically, it's freezing in the evening, but on this night, you could walk around without a jacket.

Here is the room that we ate in. I believe there are four rooms total, and they are all decorated differently.

The awesome San Francisco sourdough bread.

This salad is delicious! They bring it out to your table just like this. One server holds the dressing about a foot above the salad, and while he pours the dressing over it, another server spins the bowl. It's pretty cool to watch!

Tossing it up!

Now, I wish I was able to take a better picture of the prime rib cart. They literally bring it over to your table and serve you right there. The prime rib server already has your order, and knows what cut you requested. Next to the prime rib are the creamed spinach, mashed potatoes.

Oh yah, baby! Now that's what I'm talkin' bout!

You have a choice of what kind of cut you want. The guys usually order the King Henry Cut which is HUGE! This was my plate, and I always ask for The House Of Prime Rib cut.

This is my husband's plate.


And his baked potato, which they prepare at your table, too.

Now, we're all done with dinner, and ready to get our dessert on! We're waiting for the valet.

Oh yah! Check out our sundaes at Ghiradelli!! It's hard to see, but behind the banana split is a waffle cone sundae.

This was mine! Brownie sundae with mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Afterward, we walked down to Fisherman's Wharf, and I'm pretty sure we burned tons of calories. It was such a beautiful night!

As were walking, there was this guy who was doing this air brush painting. I have to admit that it was pretty awesome. You can request a picture you want, and he'll make it right there. You will find many interesting people as you keep walking! There's the guy who is painted in all silver, a band playing on the corner, and just tons of people everywhere!

We didn't get home too late, and it really was a perfect evening! Well, except for the steep hill we had to climb to get back to our cars! Actually, I think I was the only one complaining. :)
