| - For my husband's birthday, I wanted to treat him with something special in the way of dinner, so we made reservations at Shula's. I had mentioned in passing at the time I made the reservations that it was my husband's birthday.
When we arrived, we were escorted to a little alcove with a nameplate that said "Happy Birthday" on it. Very neat. Our waitress was awesome! We never had to ask for refills which is a huge thing with me.
For the food, mostly it was wonderful with one small exception (which is why this isn't a five-star review).
We started with the BBQ Shrimp (with stuffed basil) as an appetizer. It was delicious! Highly recommend this appetizer.
Next up, we shared a Caesar salad. We told the waitress we were going to share the salad so we were a little surprised when it was brought out to us on one plate with a spare plate to shovel half of it on to... why couldn't they have done this for us to spare us the mess on the table? Anyway, Caesar salad was tasty - not the best (see The Grapevine in Scottsdale), but very good.
For our entrees, I got the 8oz filet and the birthday boy got the cowboy steak - we both requested Medium which was described as a warm pink. My filet came out as a medium-well - no pink. Husband's steak came out a bit more on the red side than warm pink. Odd since we both requested Medium and they came out so different. Husband's steak was FABULOUS - deliciously seasoned and melt in your mouth bliss!! Mine, if it had been medium, I imagine it would have also been fabulous, but as it was, it was good. I decided not to send it back because I didn't want to have to eat it after Husband was already done with his dinner.
We also shared the crab mac-and-cheese side which was VERY good. I highly recommend this side dish. My only nitpick on it is that it was a little oversalted, but this might not bother others - I just happen to not like salt very much.
For dessert, they treated us to the 7-layer chocolate cake. Warning... this cake is unbelievably rich so prepare yourself if you order it. It came with a strawberry sitting in strawberry sauce. The only thing that could have made this better would have been if the strawberry sauce had been drizzled over the cake.
Overall, a wonderfully romantic dinner with my Husband on his birthday. Excellent service. The food was VERY good with the exception of the uneven cooking of the steaks.
