Dinner with Friends for Restaurant Week
Last night we had dinner reservations at Victory Tavern at Victory Plaza in Dallas. For restaurant week, they had a special menu with a 4-course meal, the options you could choose for each course, with a set price of $35/person. Emily and I went with one of my friends from work, Mike, and his girlfriend Brooke.
Afterwards we stopped at Havana Social Club, a cigar bar right next to the Tavern. There was a write-up in the Dallas Morning News about the cigar bar a couple of months ago, saying they were one of the last places in Dallas where you could still smoke indoors. The atmosphere here was quite nice, it is wedged in between the American Airlines Center, Victory Tavern and a WFAA News Room, where we saw a live broadcast of the 10:00pm News being shot. There is a large concrete area in between all these, with large-screen TVs showing ads and commercials for the area and restaurants around Victory Plaza.
Mike and I each had a Arturo Fuente Cuban Belicoso, which were $11 each. The price was a little high, but you pay for the atmosphere, so it was worth it to me. I’m looking forward to going back there soon.
