Regardless of the year or place, what meal were you served and what
restaurant was it in?

For me:

Location: Pacifica California, USA

Year: 1974

Restaurant: Alioto's

Meal: Steak and Lobster with grilled asparagus and Chocolate Mousse
for desert.

Price range: Expensive; $40+ per/plate (A lot in 1974 dollars)

Description:

Well, the only Alioto's I can find now is on Fisherman's Wharf in San
Francisco. I don't know if they moved it from Pacifica or if there
were two in that area. When I was there, it was literally over the
ocean with windows where you could see the waves crashing over the
rocks.

Valet parking and the staff were trained very well. Professionals from
the valet service to the coat room person, maitre d' and serving
staff, we were treated respectfully and with full courtesy.

The meal was truly awesome. The fillet was cooked exactly as ordered
with an almost raw center to a charred surface. The Lobster was tender
and very well seasoned. The grilled asparagus was tender and seasoned
so well that it would be a meal unto itself. The desert? Fantastic!

The reasons I loved this meal and place were numerous. It was my first
anniversary with my wife, and even though we were pretty short on
money, I saved up for this place. She was born and raised in Pacifica,
so she was very familiar with the place, but had never eaten there.

The grounds of the restaurant were impeccable and landscaped to
perfection. The staff were all perfectly groomed, very cleanly dressed
and each carried a professional demeanor that exemplified great
service.

There was literally nothing less than perfect service and food. I was
trained for 5 years, by one of the top chefs in the world just a few
years prior to this, and this place impressed me.

Does anyone know if the one on Fisherman's Wharf is the same place,
but just moved? I could find no reference to it in Pacifica now.
