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

Bourbon, burgers, and Bar Louie!

This restaurant may sound familiar to some. We've eaten here before and have never been disappointed with the food or service. Stop into Bar Louie for some great food and and a great late night type of atmosphere, or maybe just after doing a little shopping in the mall.                   Bourbon Bacon Burger Just by looking at the special limited time menu of this burger and many other special sandwiches alike, we knew this burger would be incredibly flavorful. A beautifully cooked meat patty deserves nothing better than a beautifully crafted sauce and delcious toppings to back them up. A perfect meat patty topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, a delcious bourbon sauce and a nice stack of fried onion straws... It's making my mouth water just thinking about it... Unsurprisingly, the look of the burger was astonishing. The juicy patty had a decent portion of crispy onion straws that make the presentation really stick out. The first bite ...

Noodlecat's Dream Buns

If you're strolling through downtown Cleveland we hope you stumble into Noodlecat . Located on Euclid Ave, you will be surrounded by a few different popular restaurants, don't be shy! Try them all! From our experience you can't go wrong. Noodlecat serves up three main options noodles, buns, and veggies. Unfortunately we did not come for noodles on this visit, we came for the Japanese Steam Buns! We picked 2 of the 5 bun options they had available and went with the J-fried Chicken bun and the Fresh bacon bun. These Buns are Japanese white bread sandwiches each topped with lettuce and pickle. For the J-fried Chicken Bun, this soft steam bun has a piece of fried chicken, sweet and spicy power ketchup. At first bite you're in love. The fresh steam buns are amazing. The chicken was crispy, tangy, and delicious but it was no match for the next bun that we tried! The Fresh Bacon Bun was filled with a delicious slice of lightly smoked, sugar ...

Tasty Tidbitt meets Tasty Made

Being owned by Chipotle, Tasty Made is a new burger joint with their first location being built in Lancaster, Ohio. So for the simple fact that we are Ohioans and Chipotle fans, we were very excited for this review and to be one of the first food blogs to review the Tasty Made restaurant. To start off, the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant is much like a Five Guys restaurant with a lot of red and white. It's not really what you expect when you think of Chipotle walking in. The menu was very small which isn't always a bad thing in a restaurant, especially a new one. There is nothing worse than a menu that is simply too large. The menu is basically the Tasty Made Original Burger, Cheeseburger, Hamburger, fresh made fries, milkshakes and sodas. All of the burgers can be ordered with an extra patty, called a double. We decided we would go with their signature burger, which is a meat patty on a bun topped with lettuce, tomato, pickle and their bacon sauce. The ...
