Roman Romance Valentine's Dinner, Caesars Atlantic City, February 18, 2012


Beautiful roses at our table

The invitation only Roman Romance Valentine's Dinner at Caesars Atlantic City Saturday, February 18, 2012 was really beautiful and offered romantic decor, delicious food and a live band. The invitation Allen received in the mail read "L'amore Domina Sensa Regole (Love Rules Without Rules). In celebration of Valentine's Day, Caesars Atlantic City invites you and a guest to a headily-romantic evening. Join Caesar and his love Cleopatra for dinner and dancing and ancient ruins. Come get lost...together!"


Allen and I at our table

Allen and I sat at the first table on the left side of the band and we had a perfect view of the dance floor and musicians. The couple we rode down in the elevator with from our Centurion Tower room sat next to us and they were really cool. It was nice meeting new people in our age group. There was another couple that sat to Allen's right who were celebrating their 40th anniversary. They were adorable and it was fun to watch them dance throughout the evening.

Our servers Debby and Diane were so great and they even got me a list with the menu for the blog which was helpful and much appreciated. Debby and Diane were both very attentive and nice. The table had a lovely roses display and there were assorted specialty breads and butter. I felt bad cutting through the butter with the mold of Caesars head (see picture below).

The salad was Romaine Heart with Fresh Mozzarella and Roasted Tomatoes with Caesars Dressing. The salad was so good and my favorite part about it was the mozzarella which just melted in your mouth.

The main course was very hearty and delicious. The dish was Parma Ham wrapped Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail Franchaise with heart shaped Dauphinoise Potato and Broccolini. The presentation was lovely and the filet mignon was my favorite. I loved the creaminess of the dauphinoise potato and it was so tender and flavorful. The broccolini was the perfect texture with a nice crunch and the lobster tail franchaise Allen thought was heavenly. Everything tasted so great.

For dessert, Opera Cake was served and it was rich and decadent. Opera cake is almond sponge cake, that is soaked in coffee syrup, and layered with ganache and coffee buttercream. It was exquisite and I tasted all the different layers of flavors with each bite.

It was a beautiful evening and we celebrated our 13th engagement anniversary and 13 is my favorite number, so here is a blog toast to many more celebrations.
