Alex's Birthday


I finally got an answer from Alex about what he wanted for his birthday, Selectech Bowflex weights. I think it is the first time he has every said he wanted something so I had to get them. He also wanted to eat at Craftsteak since we love to watch Top Chef and Tom Colicchio, the head judge, is the owner. So we went there for his birthday.

All I have to say is WOW!!!! The food and atmosphere was great. We sat down at a large round table the faced the entire restaurant. The waitress explained the menu to us. We went with the Chef's menu, a three course meal Wagyu Beef served family style and a wine flight to go along with dinner.

The first course came with a salad, hot and cold appetizer. We had a Warm Frisee Salad, greens with bacon and poached egg. It was to die for even with the poached egg. Grilled prawns and avocado with citrus dressing. Alex also wanted to try the Lobster Bisque so they brought that as well. We also got a glass of chardonnay.

The main course we got Filet Mignon and Skirt steak. We also got a side of fresh corn cooked in butter, potato puree and roasted mushrooms. The wine this course was a cabernet sauvignon, it was so good. I'm not a fan of red wine but this one changed my mind.

The third course was dessert. We were so full by this time. We got 4 different types of dessert. The first was homemade chocolate malt ice cream and dark chocolate ice cream. Next was fresh fruit. Then vanilla bean cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Finally cinnamon monkey bread with nuts and caramel and we cant forget about the Moscato d`Asti.


This was one of the greatest dinner. While at dinner we decided that we are going to start doing a combined birthday dinner.
