Rachael chose an outstanding spot for our choice this month, Speer’s Steakhouse in Mars. This contemporary, stand-alone restaurant boasts a trendy yet comfortable décor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We both appreciated the subtle background music, which added to the relaxed vibe.
To start, Rachael enjoyed a crisp glass of Pinot Grigio, while I sipped on a sparkling Prosecco. Both were served alongside the house-made focaccia and a generously herbed olive oil for dipping. Simple, but absolutely delightful.
For appetizers, the Prime Filet Crostini with Gorgonzola ($17) stole the show. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed.
The French onion soup ($9), however, was a bit underwhelming—not quite hot enough, and the cheese lacked that golden, bubbly finish we love.
Moving on to entrées: Rachael ordered the Chilean Sea Bass ($49), beautifully plated with rock shrimp and creamy risotto.
My choice was a mixed green salad ($10) topped with walnuts, red onion, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and grilled chicken, paired with a side of bacon risotto ($10). A quirky combination, I know, but both dishes were fresh and satisfying.
And then came dessert! We shared a decadent chocolate mousse ($10), rich and creamy, garnished with fresh raspberries. Alongside it, an Affogato Martini ($11) with amaretto liqueur, smooth, indulgent, and the perfect finish to the evening.
Would I return? Absolutely—for another round of that Prime Filet Crostini and those heavenly desserts. All in all, a wonderful night of dining!
