When is the last time you had a Date Night with your boo? Still Thinking…that’s too long.
Sorry not sorry…I am O B S E S S E D with Date Nights. Carlos and I have them weekly. I always say that you should never stop dating. For a long time Carlos and I took Date Nights for granted. We stopped dating. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the everyday hustle & bustle of life, that you forget what date night feels like. I always refer to our period of date "less" nights, as "we forgot how to Dance". So we started going out dancing & "dating" again. Ladies & Gents, Date Nights are our Jam. I am even more in love with them, when they are in our "neck of the woods". So many believe that in order to have a fun date night, you must head to Dallas.
Ummm NOT TRUE #duh.
Times have changed ladies & gents. And there are some cool happenings when you head north on Dallas North Tollway. So much going on like the beautiful & booming Legacy West. Legacy West is a lush urban destination lined with coveted retail, dining, residential, hotel and office spaces. It is the modern neighborhood destination – where you need to be. And I am going to tell you why. Carlos and I recently had the most amazing Date Night there last month. Actually it started with a Date "Day" that led into a Date Night.
Let me upgrade you…
That’s the really cool part about Legacy West. It is the perfect destination for your date day, night or both. Being the home of Renaissance Legacy West Hotel you can certainly upgrade your Date Night to a stay-cation. This is a huge date night do for us, to get a hotel room. One of our other traditions of Date Night is for it to be multi-destination sort-of thing. Something that both of us take turns on planning. I will be honest, Carlos is much better at this then me. I love when I get that text while he is at work saying, "Ok here is the plan…do you like that plan?" It makes my heart smile.
I am a sucker for room service. It’s my happy place, always has been. I remember in the movie Tombstone, Kurt Russel who played Wyatt Earp, asked Josephine what her idea of Heaven was. She replied…Room Service. (A Woman after my own heart.) Let me tell you, Room service at Renaissance Legacy West is M A G I C A L. Carlos had the 44 Farms New York Strip with Cauliflower. I had the 44 Farms Beef Tartare which was the perfect combination of Capers|Shallots|Green Tomato|Parmigiano-Reggiano|Potato Chips. Of-course room service is not complete without Dessert. And a Caramel Mousse Bar was on the menu. Let’s just say our bellies were smiling.
Happy Hour is Every hour…
After spending a little time in our hotel suite, we headed to Earl’s Legacy West to grab a couple of cocktails. I have always been a fan of Earl’s. They are the perfect spot for Happy Hour.. I love a Happy Hour Menu with a beautiful combination of sips & bites. And Earl’s Kitchen + Bar is the MVP in this category.
Carlos had the Black Tea Peach Sour & Don Julio Margarita. I had the Strawberry Rhubarb Fizz (it was pink of course) and the Coconut Mint Margarita. They were all so refreshing and the perfect addition to our evening.
Eat a little…. Eat a lot
I love the subtle reminder on Earl’s Kitchen & Bar on their plates. Let’s just say we did both… our White Truffle Garlic Cheese Bread & Buffalo Cauliflower (V) was to die for. Carlos is not a veggie person and he could not stop eating the Buffalo Cauliflower. All so delicious and fresh. I honestly could not stop dipping the bread in the truffle.
After a few bites we noticed the fireplace on the patio, took our drinks out there. And it really was the perfect setting. Just to chat & catch up on all the things going on. I may or may not of taken Carlos drink. Sorry not sorry.
Still going….duh
Our final destination was Kai Restaurant & Lounge. We sat on the patio that is perfect year round. We didn’t have drinks here…this was "actually" our dinner location, if you can believe it our not. I’m a huge sushi fan. Carlos still thinks California rolls is real sushi. But the best thing about Kai, they have something for everyone on the menu. So we were both very satisfied. The menu is amazing and there are so many delicious choices. But we narrowed down to the Lobster Tempura (Carlos' Fav) I had the Steve Roll and the KAI roll.
This Date Day & Night was perfect. I am a strong believer in Date Nights and always will be. I know that it is very easy to place date nights at the bottom of your priority list. But let's change that today. And to help get you started, we think its only fair that YOU experience what we did. So we are offering one lucky winner the perfect Legacy West Date Night.
