ST. ELMO STEAK HOUSE INDIANAPOLIS REVIEW

If you happen to be in Indy for whatever reason, you have to come check this place out. Make sure you have a reservation, otherwise you will not be getting in and make sure you make that reservation way in advance! It is a fancy steak house, you don't necessarily have to be dressed up when you dine here, Our waiter was wonderful, always checking on us, but not too hoveriffic.  You can't come here and not get their most popular menu item which is their Shrimp Cocktail, the sauce with freshly ground horseradish was unique.  Horseradish is the hottest fresh from the ground, and loses heat over time. The decor was pretty standard upscale American steakhouse, 

Si por alguna razón pasas por Indianápolis definitivamente tienes que ir a este lugar. Eso sí, asegúrate de tener una reservación.  Al St. Elmo Steak House lo podemos considerar un steakhouse de primer nivel, aunque no es necesario vestirse para la ocasión, aunque siempre es lindo, no te piden que lo hagas. En cuanto al servicio, nuestro mesero siempre estuvo al pendiente, y fue más que amable si llegar a ser demasiado. Y bueno el must del menú es el popular cóctel de camarón con salsa con rábano picante recién molido. Para los que no conocen este sabor, les cuento que es un picor muy intenso y nasal parecido al wasabe pero es muy momentáneo, desaparece después de unos segundos  En cuanto a la decoración  es  bastante estándar a un steakhouse americano de lujo.

SAN JOSÉ, COSTA RICA: DAY 4, JADE MUSEUM

Today I visited the Jade Museum, and I want to tell you something that few know, this museum was conceptualized, designed and executed by Mexican companies. I am pleased I saw that the museum has been welcomed by the locals and tourists. I give it the highest recommendation possible. Do yourself a favor and visit!

Review: Lush - Mint julips Lip Scrub

I love this scrub! The smell first of all is amazing.Tastes great and leaves my lips super soft and gets rid of all that gross dry peeling skin on them.  Have I mentioned that the smell of this product is to die for? And I never have to worry about my lips during the day without putting anything else on (lip balms in winter are greatly appreciated by my lips though). BUT, sometimes the humidity gets inside the jar and makes the product a bit more soggy than ideal. But overall, I find it hard to go a day without this. The little jar is extremely travel-friendly as well.

Great product, but completely and wholly overpriced for what it is. I would try to make this at home before I bought it again

Me encanta este exfoliante! El olor en primer lugar es increíble Sabe delicioso y deja los labios súper suaves y se deshace toda la piel seca. De nuevo, ¿He mencionado que el olor de este producto es para morirse? Con esto,  nunca tengo que preocuparme por mis labios durante el día, no necesito ponerme nada más  (aunque los bálsamos labiales en invierno son muy apreciados, la verdad). Sin embargo, no todo es tan increíble, a veces la humedad se mete dentro del envase  y hace que el producto se vuelva  más húmedo de lo ideal. Pero en general, me parece que es difícil pasar un día sin tener la opción de exfoliarse con esta pequeña maravilla. El envase está muy apto para viajes también. Gran producto, pero me parece algo caro para lo que es. Me gustaría tratar de hacerlo en casa antes de comprarlo de nuevo. 

Bobbi Brown BB Cream

OMG!! This feels amazing when I put it on,  The color is perfect the feel is great and it's not breaking me out. I can look into the mirror and not be disappointed that my makeup is melting away or drying out my skin. It's great! The best part, though, is the SPF 35! How can you beat that? Excellent for the most natural look

The Sugar Factory is a sweet-lovers heaven- In fact, it’s one of the coolest candy stores you’ve ever seen, with a myriad of unusual treats, many not found elsewhere.

Vegas sept 2013 Day 3: Gordon Ramsay Steak @Paris Hotel

The GR Steak experience began before we even entered the restaurant with an architecturally unique entrance built as a tribute to the "Chunnel," the underwater tunnel connecting the UK to France.

Décor is dominated by a huge Union Jack on the ceiling, overlayed by a light sculpture inspired by Ramsay’s hand movements when he cooks.

They've reused the same symbol on their menu, 

 lindo que detalle del techo se repita en el arte del menú

In addition to both menus, we were presented with an iPad on which we perused wine, beer and cocktails and info about the restaurant. 

The waiter came to our table with a display of steaks. All of the steaks were real, and displayed to show texture, and marbling.

For the complimentary bread, we actually got a selection of four different types. On the letf, we had a Lemon Thyme Foccacia bread. Next to them were two bread rolls. One is a Truffle, Mushroom and Pancetta Roll, and on top of it, there is a slightly sweet roll that seemed to have a hint of Chocolate to it. And then the baguette we had was infused with flavours from walnuts. And to the far right, there is a creamy butter, called English Devonshire, with a neatly placed line of Volcanic Sea Salt.

Ok, this is the best Caesar Salad ever, (tossed in anchovy dressing with a soft-cooked Scotch egg on top)  just yummi

My main dish of course, was Fisherman’s Grill: maine lobster, mussels, scallop, seasonal fish vadouvan and  curry aioli. 

The side dishes: 
Potato Puree (yukon gold potato, crème fraîche)  Spinach (gratinéed with parmesan cream) and 
fingerling potatoes with Parmesan and truffle..

My friends and my husband  ordered the The Roasted Beef Wellington was served with glazed root vegetables, potato puree, and red wine demi glace.  This was no ordinary Beef Wellington.  It was split into two plates and it tasted wonderful!  

Bone-in Rib Eye

British Ale Onion Soup

For dessert, we had: 

Accompaniment to coffee

Apple Tart

Chocolate layers

Our dinner was relaxing and more than pleasant.  Not once did we feel pressured to order one way or another.  Each member of the staff we interacted with was professional and genuinely friendly.  They made us feel welcome when we arrived and thanked us for visiting when we left. BUT  We expected so much more from this restaurant. I guess we imagined a tightly run kitchen putting our perfection with each plate served amongst the backdrop of a unique restaurant. What we experienced was much less.
