For my birthday last weekend, we went to one of our fave restaurants here. They specialize in steak and seafood, and I usually order fish, since we live on an island and all. But everytime I do, I end up being extremly jealous of the delicious steak my husband gets, and wishing I had ordered that instead. (I don't even love beef that much, I usually prefer fish, but this restuarant makes a greak steak).
When we arrived, I noticed that the had re-vamped the whole menu. There were 3 or 4 things that looked really, really good and I was having a hard time deciding. With the help of a seasoned waiter, I selected Grilled Tenderloin with a São Jorge cheese sauce. I was so good! I love São Jorge cheese on its own, but in a yummy sauce over steak, with fries on the side, it was a whole new experience! There was some kind of sweetish glaze or reduction drizzled over the sauce and steak too; I'm not sure what that was, but it was good. ;)
My husband ordered what he always does- a steak that comes out sizzling on a large flat slab of rock. That was very good too. It came with salad, fries and 3 flavored mayonnaises.
Restuarant here don't open for dinner until 7pm, so before we ate, we strolled through the town, looking at all the Christmas lights. They put them up, banner-style, hanging up between apartments and buildings, or streetlights, lining the narrow streets.
The town square and the cathedral were all lit up for the season. I love this time of year!
