Belated Valentine’s Dinner

February 16, 2008 by Amy

Last night J&W, D&D and Scott and I went out to a place called McIntosh’s in Charlotte. We rode the lightrail up there for the first time. The entire night was so much fun. The place is known for it’s steak. In fact, it offers a 3 LBS Porterhouse (for $90!!). I stuck to my 8 oz filet though.

The sides were family style so we had garlic mashed potatoes, au gratin potatoes and mushroom and spinach which we all shared. For desert we had dark chocolate cake, apple pie and ice cream and coffee. It was all absolutely delicious but quite pricey. We could have sponsored a Compassion child for a YEAR for the amount of money the three couples paid for the night. No joke. I actually felt pretty guilty about how much we spent but I do have to say we had a great time.

The conversation between the six of us is NEVER dull and it was great to get out with no kids and catch up with one another. Here’s my $20 outfit. The shoes were bought last minute at Kohl’s and cost more than the outfit:

For the ladies, here’s the shoes from Kohl’s:
