    I told someone at the gym today that I've never had a bad meal at Winewood. That tradition continued today! The bone-in filet was superb combined with the mac and cheese! Seldom do you get such a high quality cut of beef prepared to your specifications these days, but Winewood is undefeated. Our server was excellent and gave us more options than we could choose from. My wife had the blackened Chilean Sea Bass with shrimp and scallops...highly recommended. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and from the moment we arrived until the dessert hit the table with Happy Anniversary written on the serving tray it was an outstanding experience!

    We had dinner at Jellico's for Valentine's Day. When I made the reservation, the 3 course menu was posted and it sounded great for the price. The food was delicious and they included extras that made the evening even better... a red rose, champagne toast, and chocolate covered strawberries in addition to the dessert. The only hiccup was we had to ask three people for knives to eat our steak and fish before someone actually brought out two knives. I would dine here again.

    Food was excellent, as always at Next Bistro in Colleyville. I have experienced enough Valentine's dinners in my life to know that the prices double and service for the first seating is rushed because they are trying to get you in and out before the next time slot arrives.
