Black Point- is on Point

It was a special day!
Our anniversary as a couple!




Seth surprised me by taking us out to dinner at the Black Point. The black point is an upscale steak house located in the Short North of Columbus. After talking about how much I wanted to go every time we were in the area, I was very excited.




He set up reservations for us for 6 p.m. and we arrived early. We decided to wait for our table to be ready and sat at the bar for a few minutes before the hostess seated us.


When brought to our table I noticed the restaurant had left us a small tea light surrounded by beautiful rose petals and a small card that said Happy Anniversary on it. How thoughtful!





We then placed our orders, Seth and I both choosing one of their popular menu items, Surf and Turf Prix Fixe. The Surf and Turf included the following options, for the first course you pick between classic Caesar salad, kale and Brussels sprouts, the wedge salad, and lobster bisque. The entrĂ©e was an 8 oz.  Filet mignon and you chose which “surf” item you would like to pair it with, such as jumbo sea scallops with lemon citrus sauce, or the lobster crab cake. And for the Grand finale, dessert, you had the option between flourless chocolate cake, or salted caramel cheesecake.

For the first course we both picked the Wedge salad.

I was definitely happy with this pick, and so was Seth. It was one of the best salads we have ever had. The wedge included iceberg lettuce, smoked bacon, egg, fine blue cheese, and French dressing. It was a pretty big dish as well. Along with the salad they served us bread, which was also wonderful. Seth’s grandma always makes him homemade rolls, and we thought these were similar in taste. (No match of course, for grandmas is always better)



After the salad we picked opposite dishes for the “Surf”. Seth went with the jumbo scallops, and I the lobster crab cake. I’m not much of a seafood fan, but I was excited to try it!





When we were brought out our main dishes we were astounded. The flavor of our filet mignon was perfect. The filet was very well seasoned and had been cooked properly to our requests. As for the scallops, Seth enjoyed them and they were presented beautifully. My lobster crab cake- the first time I had ever remotely tried lobster in my life- was good! I managed to eat a few bites of it before handing it over to Seth to finish. We also ordered a side dish of mashed potatoes and they were very good!





By the time we were ready for dessert, we were not. We were so full! We both decided on the flourless chocolate cake. The cake was also so good, although we were unable to finish it. It was very soft and rich. We asked to have our remaining cake boxed, and were surprised with a free dessert for us to share complimentary of Black point for it being our anniversary! They gave us the caramel cheesecake, which we later tried and absolutely loved.





All in all, we enjoyed our evening at Black Point very much! I think we will make it a special occasion favorite for in the future. Everyone who helped serve us was very friendly, and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere, on top of the food being delicious.

We want to thank everyone at the Black Point for making our night so special!

Your food friend, Tasty

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them!  Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available!  We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet

Amorino has the Gelato

  Oh gelato, you make me smile, especially in the form of a beautiful rose. Yes, you read that correctly, gelato in the shape of a rose. You can find this so called rose shaped gelato at Amarino in Chicago. After hearing about this place, I HAD to add it to our itinerary while we were back in the Windy City. Amarino is downtown, and we didn’t have that much trouble finding parking. We went later in the afternoon; I would say around 5 p.m. and found Amarino to be especially empty. When you enter the double sliding doors (cool touch) you will be right in front of their gelato selections. They have a wide selection. We came for the rose, but you are able to get a simple bowl instead as well.  When finally deciding what flavors we wanted we ended up with Pistachio, cookie butter, and chocolate. The flavors went very well together. We watched in awe as the server sculpted a beautiful rose master piece in front of us. It turned out so pretty!

Fatso's.. hopefully Not-so Last Stand

Fatso’s Last Stand is a "somewhat" fast food restaurant that can also be found on the outskirts of Chicago. When it comes to hot-dogs, Chicago is the place you want to be. For those who may not know, the traditional Chicago dog includes an all-beef frank placed on a poppy seed bun, with a lot of toppings such as, white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled peppers, and lastly yellow mustard. Out of the many, many, places in Chicago you can find a great hot dog we wound up at Fatso’s. Not only does Fatso’s offer great hot-dogs, they have their own spin on hamburgers. The burger is famously named “The Fatso Burger” and we couldn’t leave without trying both. When ordering you’ll also notice that all of their hot-dogs are served Chicago style, but you can add or remove all the toppings that you would like. Fatso’s has a few different types of hot-dogs to pick from in terms of the meat and style
