Christopher's

We took my dad to Christopher's for his 65th birthday dinner this year.  In the moment we waited for our hostess, we saw The Chef himself making his way from the Crush part of the restaurant back to the kitchen.

We were seated and began deciding the best way to conquer the French inspired menu.  First things first though...and second...

We ordered the escargot...after all miss this is France!  Well, perhaps just a restaurant with a French flare.  Well seasoned and oh-so flaky and buttery, it disappeared before I could even snap a photo.  Je suis désolé mes amis...you'll have to see it for yourself when you order it for an appetizer.

J'adore the de-constructed Caesar salad.  Chef Christopher does a fantastic Caesar dressing, and if you're an anchovy lover, get excited--you'll get all you'll ever need on your plate.  And if you're like me, that's where they'll stay ;)

And now for the main event.  All four at our table opted for red meat with the likes of steaks, burger, and lamb.  We also indulged in some sides that were just too good to pass up: mac n cheese, spinach, and duck frites.

Last but not least, we topped off our birthday dinner with two desserts.  The Chocolate Tower came with a celebratory sparkler and a Happy Birthday message that was the perfect end to our food fest.

Christopher's was a great place for a celebration dinner.  We also had plenty of leftovers to enjoy over the weekend...check out the menu here.  I am definitely heading back to Crush for happy hour.
