![]() Being a Landry's Select Club has its perks. One is that they have special meal deals for club members. Thursday was Date Night. A four course meal for two at $49. Joe's doesn't accept reservations, so we showed up early - just shy of 6:30 - hoping for the best. We were immediately seated, although I could not get the host to understand we were there for Date Night and needed the special menus. It's all good, I strolled up to the host stand and grabbed them myself; needed the exercise anyway. Our waiter arrived fairly quickly and took drink orders. Our teas arrived and he didn't take long to come back for our orders. Jenny was with us and ordered from the menu the Shrimp Sampler which comes with skewered shrimp, scampi, and shrimp brochette. The scampi and brochette were tasty, but the skewer was completely dried out and way overcooked. We all three had a shrimp skewer and they were all very well done. For our Date Night dinner, we started with the crab and shrimp dip which was tasty and a generous portion that fed us all. Next we had house salads; the vegies were fresh and dressings were nice, although they came to our table way before the appetizer. Jeff chose the Shrimp Sampler and I had Land and Sea. The steak, an 8oz top sirloin, was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I've already discussed the shrimp skewer. The rustic mashed potatoes the accompanied my steak were fantastic with spot-on seasoning and small chunks of potato that I really like. Broccoli was unimpressive and a tad undercooked. For dessert, we went with the Crabby Apple Crumble. The portion was extremely generous with a little scoop of ice cream. It was comforting and filling. Overall, we enjoyed our Date Night dinner. It was a good value.
