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 ...

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...

10 Jeni's Flavors you Don't Wanna Miss

A take on ten flavors of Jenis, no it did not take us long to make this list.. case in point, Jenis ice cream is fabulous. 10 mouth watering flavors: (Buttery Popcorn to the left, and Caramel Almond to the right) Buttery Popcorn In lamest terms, the best. Seriously. I loved this flavor. I'm not going to say I'm a huge popcorn person, but this definitely put a smile on my face. The ice cream was smooth, yet tasted exactly like kettle corn. Caramel Almond I loved the pieces of almond in this flavor. The ice cream itself was okay, really really sweet which is always good. Ultramarine Blue Buttermilk Extremely tangy and extremely fruity this flavor of Jenis will not disappoint your taste buds. In fact it's like an explosion of blue, or purple, because it was purple ice cream! Vanilla Bean Just as you expect, this flavor is the perfect pairing when you cannot decide from all of the other wonderful flavors, or to tame down another flavor, it was the ...
