The wife and I were wondering what place we want to hit up for our Anniversary, we decided on the Sunset Grille but what are some other really good somewhat fancy places to eat in the area? We've been to Pirate's Table which was very good, and Minervas which was good too.

My favorite place is Delmonico. The fillet is AMAZING and the lobster tail has only been surpassed by lobster I had in the Carolinas once before. Their creme brulee is better than any creme brulee that I ever had in France.

Then I like the Enigma at The Downtown Radisson. Their pear and goat cheese salad is fantastic.

The Wine Cellar on 6th Street has a great cheese plate.

Botticelli has cioppinno that will make you slap your momma! Oh boy it's sooo good!

I also like The Alpine in Hill City, The Fireside up in Johnson Siding, and The Bay Leaf and Roma's in Spearfish. The Panini Cafe in Piedmont is nice too for lunch. There are a lot of great places to eat around the Black Hills.

We decided on the Fireside, its a little pricey but its the anniversary so it really doesnt matter too much. its a good drive from the base (about 45mins) but nothing extreme.

edit: scratch that.. the wife doesnt want to go that far so we are back to square one on deciding where to go...

Danny, when do you want to meet for lunch? You are going to have to show me around to all these places when I get out there!

Alpine Inn in Hill City is good. Granted its quite a drive from the base. The Firehouse is also an option in downtown Rapid.

well the wife and I decided on Delmonico. It's a cozy little place that was great for an anniversary, or a small group. The prices range $20-$26 a plate and their big lobster meal was $45. I had the full rack of lamb at $30 it wasnt too bad, considering a "full" rack only had 4 ribs, it was in a port wine reduction sauce.. good stuff. The Creme brulee was amazing along with a very nice cup of joe. We had some imports for dinner as drinks and our lovely waiter didnt charge us for the drinks or the coffee. All together with tip it was around $80, not bad for an anniversary.

Pros: Great service and food
Cons: A little pricey, Chairs are hard wood and not very comfortable. I would give it a 4 out of 5

I'm glad you had a nice anniversary. I've never had the rack of lamb there but I do love their port wine reduction. I think they have a salad in a pomegranate reduction too and it's pretty good. And how about that creme brulee!
