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

 Orange, Grand Marnier Floater,

 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...

The USS Alabama

guards Mobile Bay.

Warm rolls with house
made Savory & Sweet
Butters

Eric and I share Appetizers...

The Cheese Plate with

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...

Eric's Cowboy Ribeye Steak

topped with Lump Crab & 

served with Brussels Sprouts 

& Mashed Potatoes.

My Ono Island Tuna Steak is

 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.

 Dessert....

Eric's Creme Brulee served on
an Alabama Lace Cookie

My Key Lime Pie 

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.
