Shewolf has never stepped foot in Dogtown so I stepped on out there and let my hair down. Valentine's Day Dinner in NLR, it's fucking risky business. Luckily I had a few tricks up my sleeve.

Argenta.

We headed to Crush Wine Bar for a pre-dinner bottle. Starving, we had to crush an appetizer. Smoked salmon on bagel chips are crunk. It didn't technically match the Pinot Noir but it worked.

Then we headed across the street to Starving Artist Cafe. If you've never been there you're missing a gem. The walls are covered in local art and they host a weekly NPR show called Tales from the South, which is short stories from the South.

We got another bottle immediately. Clank and I ordered the same dinner, crab cakes, filet, and creme brule. The crab cakes were covered in crawfish. My problem with this is the quantity, I could have eaten a dozen. Then the filet came out and it was wrapped in bacon. BACON. Unreal. I haven't ordered a steak in some time and, shit, it was awesome. Finally the dessert came out. This was hands down the weakest course. Strawberries and chocolate creme brule, more like chocolate cake icing.

It didn't matter because the wine was speaking to us. It was a great night and I highly recommend you venture across the river.

That's it. Drink some eat some.

Have a great place we should visit? Let us know, offer to buy us a drink, and we can probably make it happen.

You're opinion is probably wrong but leave a comment anyway.
