Last night, we took part in Downtown Restaurant Week again this year as we have for about the past 9 years. This year, we decided to eat at Lucas Park Grille. We have considered eating there for years but every time I check the menu online, I don't really see anything that grabs my attention. Well, the menu for Restaurant Week was excellent. Bill started with the firecracker shrimp and I had the spinach-ricotta ravioli. They were both good as I tasted both, however, I forgot to give Bill a taste of my ravioli, hee hee. Anyway, he then had the kale salad and I had the tomato bisque. They were both good and yes, I gave Bill a taste of my soup. We both had the fillet with truffled potato gnocchi, white asparagus, port wine demi. Oh my gosh, I ate everything on my plate! I'm not even a big fan of steak but this was seriously good. The fillet and gnocchi aren't even on their current regular menu but I will be checking from time to time because I would definitely go back for another fillet. Yum!
The weather was nice so we headed to Urban Chestnut to enjoy a brew in the Biergarten. There was a German band playing, what else, German music. They even played "Du, Du liegst mir im Herzen" a German folk song I learned in German class back in 8th grade. I remember the teacher saying that it was a popular beer hall song. Ha! I still remember the words and yes, I sang along. Prosit.
