Tenth anniversary dinner

Today we went to Ocean Prime for an anniversary dinner; we had a reservation (via OpenTable) for 1930. I had mentioned on the reservation "special notes" that it was our 10th anniversary, to see if they would do anything for it; and they did, giving us champagne and comped desserts. Honey wore a white "crocodile" pattern dress she had just bought, and new heels, and of course her new earrings.
For the main course Honey had the 10 oz. filet, medium (but they may have done it medium well) and I had the 14 oz. New York strip, medium rare, and we both had baked potatoes on the side (all à la carte, no "included sides", but that was fine). We were pretty full but not uncomfortably so and had called for a box and the check when we received word about desserts on the house, so managed to squeeze it in. I had a white chocolate key lime pie and honey had a chocolate peanut-butter cake. Our waiter, Emmanuel, did a great job.
We were there a couple hours, all told, and had a great time, although we could have wished for quieter neens next to us. I think we brought home enough food for another meal.
