Week 83 Triple George Grill

Thanks for reading everyone. Hope you all are having a wonderful 2013 so far. I know that we definitely are. I can't believe January is almost over. Where did the time go? I guess time flies when you are having fun, and fun is definitely what we are having.

After many requests from you guys (we love suggestions), I made a Keek which we will start making Keeks soon.

What Teray Says...

This week Brett had some friends in town. I was excited because I had met them when we got engaged a few years back in Michigan during Brett's home coming. They were staying downtown so we decided on a downtown restaurant. Anyone who knows me knows that I am not really a fan of downtown. Well, let me rephrase that, I am not the biggest fan of walking around there where the casinos are because I always feel like there are some crazies down there. I do love First Friday, the art district, and the restaurant scene, so I guess I should have just started with I am not a fan of the crazies downtown. :)

We got to Triple George Grill and I immediately like the vibe of the place. A huge bar was in the middle with rooms to the back and to the left. We had a seat at the bar for a drink while we waited for our friends. Brett chose a Blue Moon and I had a pear martini rimmed with cinnamon. My drink was fantastic. By the end I couldn't drink the last few sips because it was pretty strong (I kept this drink throughout the whole dinner). 

Once our friends arrived we were seated in the back at a long table with a dimly lit atmosphere which I love when I am out to dinner; I feel like it makes a restaurant really swanky. Everyone ordered drinks and appetizers. Brett and I chose the Ahi tuna. The Ahi tuna came with veggies which were amazing and the tuna was even better, probably one of the best appetizers I have ever had at a restaurant. 

For our meals I ordered spicy shrimp and scallop pasta and Brett got more Ahi tuna. He must have really liked the appetizer. The food didn't take too long to come out, but gave us enough time to relax and enjoy ourselves at dinner. My food was beyond delicious, probably one of the best pasta dishes I have had in the city. The portion size was really big though so of course I gave over half of it to Brett. 

By the time dessert came I was so full I didn't even look at the menu. I bet they had amazing desserts though. I think I would go back just to find out. I have to say this was one of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a long time; the service was great, the atmosphere was fabulous, the company was fun, and the food was amazing. For Brett and I with tip it costs about 100 bucks, not too bad for such a great experience. I definitely rate Triple George Grill 5 out of 5. 

What Brett Says...

This week we did more then our usual date night, a fraternity brother of mine and his wife were in town for the CES convention and we decided to get together.  They were in the mood for seafood and we thought maybe going downtown might be a good time.  They brought along a couple coworkers so we got to see what the restaurant offered to a table of six.  After looking online I stumbled onto "Triple George Grill" downtown.  They offered a little of everything including seafood.  We made reservations since it was a Friday night at a place that tends to be busy.

Teray and I got to the restaurant a little early not knowing what parking would be like.  We decided to make our lives easy and just valet it, it made it much easier at the end of the night.  Not having ever seen Triple George Grill before I was not really sure what we were going to get, downtown can be a little iffy as far as establishments go.  Lucky for us this place instantly sold us.  We walked into a very cool and classy establishment.  There was a large center bar that ran the entire length of the space.  There were large booths around the bar and a large dining room off to the side, there may have been more that we didn't get a chance to see.  The feel of the place was old Vegas, I would expect to see the Rat Pack hanging out having a drink and a nice dinner.  They didn't try to over due the Vegas thing, they shot for a look and a feel and they did a good job pulling it off.

Since we were early we decided to have a seat at the bar and have a drink while we were waiting for the rest of the group.  The bartender was a very lively personality; in the 15 minutes we sat at the bar he made it awesome.  He was interactive with us and even though the bar was pretty full he made quite a bit of time for us.  When it was time to be sat we were moved to the dining room, our server was very good.  It has been rare that we get quality service and this is a place we definitely got it.  All of our needs were met and then some.  We were taken care of very well and I can't think of a single thing I would complain about.  Service was at it's top from the minute we walked in till the minute we walked out.  Service alone is a reason to go here.

So the restaurant itself is very cool and the service was awesome.  The only thing that could ruin a good thing is the food.  Fortunately for Triple George they delivered and kept themselves is the plus column.  For appetizers we had some ahi tuna and caprese salad, the tuna was amazing..so much so that I got ahi tuna as my entree.  The caprese was a little different then normal but still very good.  Like I said I got the tuna as my entree as well, I decided to get it blackened.  I'm usually not big on getting fish at restaurants because I prefer how I cook it.  They did not disappoint, one of my brother's coworkers got it as well and she said hers was good as well.  I also had the opportunity to try Teray's spicy shrimp and scallop pasta; it was really good but also really spicy.  I can usually do spicy but this tested me.  I enjoyed it but I couldn't eat it all because of the level of spice.

Rating 5 out of 5...go here for every occasion from dates to groups to drinks.

Patty's Closet Outfit of the Week
Thanks to Patty and Juan of Patty's Closet for providing me with my outfit of the week this week. Check out my outfit of the week provided by Patty's Closet Fashion Boutique. I love this outfit, so much so that I can't wait to wear it again. This sweater is such a statement piece but classic at the same time. I love that you can wear it so many different ways and for all seasons. It is longer on the sides then in the front. I paired it with some distressed jeans, brown boots, and a big brown floppy hat with a gold chain, also from the Rainbow
