Why the time crunch? To go eat another meal, of course! We were meeting Michele and Mikki at GrillMarx Steakhouse on Sunday evening for dinner. It's owned by our friend Andy. Unfortunately he wasn't there that night, but don't worry, there will be an Andy story in a couple more posts.
The place was packed, which is great for a random Sunday evening in the summer. We started with cocktails, chatting and catching up. Kara sees Michele quite a bit and I usually see Michele & Mikki when I come back to visit in the summer, but it had been years since we'd spent time together as a group.
I love steak, and I'd heard great things about the steaks from Mikki, but I felt like I needed some seafood to counteract all the other stuff I'd been eating all weekend. We started with salads. The salad itself was good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the croutons. Not sure if they had been sitting in the lettuce mix or what, but they were soft and I much prefer crunchy croutons. But I just took them out, and enjoyed the rest of my salad.
Our waiter recommended the off-the-menu special, which was wild Alaskan salmon--can't remember how it was prepared. I ordered it, until the waiter came back and told me it was $37. I love salmon, but don't need to spend that much on it. So I ordered the grilled salmon entree instead.

Will I go back? Of course! It's owned by a friend, the food is delicious, and there's lots more items on the menu that I still need to try.
