Celebrating Valentine's Day @ Dauphin's Restaurant in Mobile, Alabama

Eric's Valentine's Day surprise for me is reservations for dinner at Dauphin's Restaurant in downtown Mobile.





Dauphin's is on the 34th
floor of the RSA Bank
Trustmark Building.




This beautiful display
greets visitors as they
exit the elevator.













Tables for two are placed for guests viewing enjoyment.
I go straight to the windows to start taking pictures...  






Eric gets a shot 
of me.






Eric chose an early dinner so we could watch the sunset and Mobile skyline light up.....




Eric & I arrived a few
minutes early...

We can have a seat
in the lounge....




.... or get a drink at
the bar.
 

Eric & I enjoy Top Floor Margaritas
made with Herradura Reposado,
Fresh Lime Juice, Splash of
 Sugar & Salt Rim.

Delicieux!





The Piano is beautifully
arranged.












Samantha is our Server.  She will be guiding us through Dauphin's carefully selected menus.





Our table...







Dauphin's has a great Wine List....  I chose Chardonnay to go with my dinner.  Eric's Merlot 
is velvety smooth. 





Eric's OUCH! gives
him a rugged look.



I steal a peek out the
window...

guards Mobile Bay.





Warm rolls with house
made Savory & Sweet
Butters
Eric and I share Appetizers...





Nuts & Raspberries




Fried Alligator with
Remoulade Sauce










Mobile lights up for
Valentine's Day
evening.



Eric knows how to show this girl a lovely time.

Our Entrees arrive...




topped with Lump Crab
served with Brussels Sprouts 
& Mashed Potatoes.





 Marinated, Crusted with Pistachio
 Nuts & Sesame Seeds, Seared &
 served with Brussels Sprouts
 & Mashed Potatoes.





Including the years Eric and I dated, this is our 42nd Valentine's Day together.






Eric's Creme Brulee served on
an Alabama Lace Cookie











A smoking dish is
brought to the
table...



Eric spoons out a Chocolate
 Truffle, then another.

A lovely, beautifully
 presented surprise.









We received a card....





It was from Samantha wishing
Eric & me a Happy Valentine's
Day & thanking us for choosing
Dauphin's for our special dinner.





It may take a few years, but the next time Eric and I are in Mobile, we will return to Dauphin's to make more memories over another impeccably prepared meal.

Thank you, Samantha and Dauphin's for making our 42nd Valentine's Day so special and memorable.
