My Favorite....NIGHT OUT

What could be better than hopping from place to place to get all of my favorites? Since my favorites are all so decadent, I only need drinks, appetizers, and dessert. Even better? All of my favorite things are in the same area, hardly any driving required! Since we are restaurant hopping, just pull out a bar chair and lets get to eating and drinking!

TILLMAN'S ROADHOUSE

Our first stop on the delicious restaurant tour is Tillman's Roadhouse for drinks (previously mentioned in "My Favorite....PASTA). The best spot to sit is at a small table near the bar which is made of stacked, round logs. Cozy up on the blue velvet couch nestled below a wall of frames. Mismatched chairs finish off each table to accommodate 2-4 people. Once seated, the server will bring a drink menu and the most delicious truffle popcorn and warm salted peanuts served in oversized, crossed spoons. My favorite cocktail in all of Fort Worth is the Low Country. I am a vodka girl, but this drink is the perfect blend of masculine and feminine. The base of the drink is Buffalo Trace Bourbon served with muddled fruit consisting of cherry, lemon, muddled fruit puree, a sugar cube, bitters, and simple syrup topped with a splash of club soda. This sweet 7th street spot is perfect before heading down to Bailey's for an appetizer....my next stop on the perfect night out!

BAILEY'S PRIME PLUS

Within walking distance sits a Dallas import, Bailey's. The rich interior reminds me of a blend of Vegas with the velvet high-backed booths, Japan because of the zen fountain, and a 70's pop feel with the lime green modern chairs. Despite the cooky but cool design, this restaurant serves my FAVORITE appetizer...the Lobster Stuffed Avocado ($15). Bailey's removed the pit and a little more of an avocado, stuffs a creamy mash of lobster (maybe a little cheese in it too?), and deep fries the creation and tops it with a cilantro lime cream sauce and pico de gallo. Another great appetizer is the Crispy Asparagus, crusted with Romano cheese and served with the Bailey's house ranch ($9). These appetizers, paired with the popcorn and nuts from Tillman's, are all you need before a sweet treat. For the best dessert, hop in the car (or walk if your adventurous) to Eddie V's down the street.

EDDIE V'S

Sometimes it's hard to save room for dessert. But this dessert is so important, that's why on my perfect night out I only have appetizers and dessert. Get ready for the BEST Banana's Foster a flambe! I have only had this dessert 3 times and have been put into a coma every time. I can't remember what it looks like because its gone in 5 minutes! All I know is it's served with some of the best butter pecan ice cream brought in from Dallas that melts beautifully with the upside down banana cake. DELICIOUS!
