Valentine's Day-themed dinner at Shadow Lounge restaurant & bar on Hertel. Our special Valentine's menu started with the "Fire & Ice" panko crusted blue crab claw cakes with Shadow's chilled cayenne-mint Fire & Ice sauce and the "Seductive Caesar" - chilled crisp FRESH romaine tossed with homemade ceasar dressing, house croutons, romano cheese & served with a strip of crispy bacon dipped in dark chocolate!

The entrees names were equally as entertaining & delicious: "Kinky Kiev" (a chicken Kiev dish) consisting of panko encrusted chicken breast stuffed with herb & garlic compound butter. And the aptly named "Love my Loins Tenderly" grilled beef tenderloin, rubbed with espresso seasoning, topped with a Godiva Chocolate demi-glaze.

And, for dessert: "Tease me for 2" - Frangelica hot cocoa topped with bourbon gelato & served with biscotti.

At Shadow Lounge, you'll find dishes that are creative, flavorful & satisfying with the most attentive service in an intimate setting. And the biggest shocker will be the bill. You'd expect to pay a lot more for such a quality dining experience. For your next dinner out, make your reservations at Shadow Lounge on Hertel. And, if you're out on a Friday or Saturday, stay after dinner to enjoy live music featuring jazz, motown, funk & R&B classic hits by the area's most popular bands.
