Date Night @ Esme Bistro

Trish and I went to Esme Bistro in Teaneck last night.  Esme is what I would consider a "fancy restaurant", or as I would have called it in my youth, an "André Bujere".  There are two metrics that I use to determine whether a restaurant is fancy, namely:

1) The restaurant must have table coverings of some kind, and
2) The restaurant does not provide crayons to draw upon said table covering.

Anyway, we had a wonderful time, and I'm pretty sure it was the most expensive dinner we've ever had.  We ordered the "Roasted Lamb Riblets" as an appetizer.  Trish had the "Esme Bistro Fillet" and I had the "Reserve Cut".  I had an amazing chocolate cake-and-ice-cream-type-thing for desert.  Who knew one could spend $110 on a dinner for two?  The steak was amazing.  In fact, upon eating it I realized that the steak desired, nay, demanded a glass of wine, but alas, for Esme doesn't yet have it's liquor license.

Actually, the price isn't bad when prorated, as we spent almost two hours at the restaurant. André Bujere indeed!
