The Weekend Gourmet Dines Out for October Featuring Bohanans Prime Steaks and Seafood
 |
| The addition of orange juice and Grand Marnier made this margarita special! |
 |
| My Crimson Pearl was pretty and tasty... and plenty potent! |
Right about then, our appetizer arrived. We decided to share a Jumbo Lump Crabcake, which we agreed was hands-down the best crabcake wed ever tasted. Imagine huge lumps of sweet crab with just enough binding to hold them together. Then imagine that its perfectly seared and served with slightly spicy remoulade sauce. Simply put, it was perfection.
 |
| The name doesnt lie: Jumbo Lump Crabcake...jumbo being the operative word! |
 |
| Rich and delicious Tortilla Soup: Chef Marks famous recipe. |
 |
| Heirloom Caprese Salad...some of the creamiest fresh mozzarella Ive ever tasted. |
Before we knew it, it was time for the main event: our entrees and side dishes. We decided to try one steak and one seafood entree, and our waiter encouraged us to try the very special bone-in New York Strip that had been dry aged for 45 days. Yes, please! Our mouths were watering before it ever made it to the table. We also ordered the Mesquite-Grilled Snapper Royale topped with lump crab, scallops, and chanterelle mushrooms in a creamy sauce. The fish was cooked very nicely, moist on the inside with just enough spice. The creamy sauce was rich, but not overly so. As much as I enjoyed the fish, I have to admit that the steak was the true star of the show!

Im a Texas gal...Ive eaten a lot of steaks in my life. I can say without a doubt that is the very best steak Ive ever tasted. Ever. It was juicy, tender, and full of beef flavor. We were both grinning like giddy kids playing hooky from school while we ate this steak. To accompany our steak and fish, we sampled two side dishes from their large selection: Lobster Creamed Corn and White Truffle Oil Steak Fries. Both were rich and totally splurge-worthy. If youve never tried truffle oil fries, do yourself a favor: TRY IT!
By then, we were getting very full. Luckily, Chef Mark stopped by our table to chat with us for a bit...which gave us enough time to digest just enough to share one dessert. After looking over the menu, I asked Michael if we could get a flaming dessert. I absolutely love the theatrical element of leaping flames as its flambeed tableside...so dramatic! We settled on Strawberries Imperial served over vanilla ice cream. We had enjoyed something similar for dessert while on vacation in Cancun years ago, and we loved it!

| The perfect ending: flambe strawberries served over vanilla ice cream... a show stopper way to end a meal! |
This dessert was delicious: not too sweet and full of fruit flavor. One of the best parts of a flaming dessert is that you get a show with your dinner! We were remarking what a fabulous meal it was, when we received one final surprise: two flutes of champagne were sent to our table to cap off this fabulous meal. There are few things I love more than a glass of good champagne, so it was the perfect ending to a remarkable meal!
Bohanans is a wonderful restaurant thats ideal for any special occasions you may be planning. Ive already requested that we celebrate our anniversary here in December! Attendant service, beautiful and romantic atmosphere, and amazing food. What more could you want?
