I wanted a low key New Years Eve this year. My friend, Susan, was in town from NYC so we decided to hang out. I rave about the Bishop Arts District and the Belmont Hotel to the point that she was determined to visit the area while she was in town.
The Belmont has the best view of the city! I absolutely love this view. It goes from one end of downtown to the other with the Uptown lights as well. Captivating! We had drinks and caught up with one another. She enjoyed the view as well and completely understood my love of this place. She is going to introduce it to her family as well. During this time, she told me of a place that I should try called Cedars Social House.
We then went to Tillman's for dinner. Neither of us were super hungry and we wanted to minimize how much we spent so we split things. They had an appetizer for everyone that had popcorn with trufle oil which was really really good. I have decided that I love truffle oil. Yelp reviews said we have to try their Trio of Fries. We werent' that impressed. There were 3 types of fries that included a season fry with chili powder, regular fry with parmesian, and sweet potatoe fries. I guess for me was that it wasn't that unique. The fries were good, but nothing super great like the reviews said on Yelp. We then split a cornish hen that was marinated with a Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce. It was OK. We then had tater tots topped with goat cheese that was amazing. Really really liked it.
Susan was tired from traveling so much so she went home and I joined some friends at the MAT to ring in the New Years.
Happy New Years!!!!
