Wined and Dined

   Fall break was a relaxing and fun-filled long weekend full of TCU football, family reunion and date nights with the best of the best. I was surprised by the best boyfriend in the world on a date night to Mercury Chophouse in downtown Fort Worth. It is so special to get all dressed up and enjoy an evening with great wine, great food and great company.

   Mercury Chophouse is located in the heart of Sundance Square and offers some of the finest food in Fort Worth. We started off with a sampler appetizer that included crab cakes, scallops and calamari. Having never been privy to scallops, my whole perspective was transformed after trying the perfectly seared appetizer. We then enjoyed dinner which consisted of the most exquisite and mouthwatering filet mignon and swordfish. The Mercury Chophouse truly owns up to their reputation by offering world-class food and flawless service.

   While pampering ourselves by indulging in a bottle of sauvignon blanc, Brandon and I had the most incredible 2 hours. A much anticipated and needed date allowed us to forget our busy schedules for the night and enjoy each other. Brandon and I have been together nearly a year and a half, being some of the most memorable and happy months I can remember. There are still so many experiences that we have yet to take advantage of with each other and I look forward to many more adventures with him.

   In terms of food delicacies, discovering the Chophouse was a great find. It is truly one of the best restaurants we have ever been to. I recommend this venue for anyone who is looking for a high class and unique restaurant experience. It also offers the perfect location to continue your evening and explore the thriving Sundance Square night life.
