Last week when I was sick I was all sorts of high maintenance. I was whiny and pathetic and probably a bit demanding of my oh-so-sweet husband. Of course Corey, being the saint that he is, waited on me hand and foot without complaining a bit. To say that I was thankful for all of his help and love is an understatement. When I was feeling better, I decided to show my gratitude by taking him out for a delicious steak dinner. So, Saturday night we got fancied up a bit and headed out for a night on the town.
We started with cocktails at Freddy’s – the old-timey bar in the super luxe Hotel De L’Europe. I had a mint julep, he had an old fashioned. Then we made our way to Pomp Station, a fun restaurant in the east part of the city known for their steaks. I don’t eat beef, but Corey has told me it’s really hard to find a good steak in Amsterdam, so I thought I’d give him the opportunity to give this one a try. We shared a bottle of wine, started our meal with some oysters (fancy!) and even topped it all off with dessert. It was a decadent meal accompanied by a live jazz band (isn’t live music the best?!).
Even though we don’t have kids and most nights could be considered “date nights” – when we go out for a fancy meal together it really is a special occasion and feels like those first dates we had way back when. Nothing refreshes a relationship like good conversation over a good meal. If you’re in Amsterdam looking for a great steak and a great atmosphere – I’d give Pomp Station a try!

Mmmm – I love a good steak and a good date night.
I feel the same – Joe & I don't have kids but when we dress up to head out somewhere nice, it feels so special. I relish all of those times now sans bébé!
We go to a place in Bedford called Cafe Angelo's they do this thing called Black Rock – you're given a block of slate or something that's been in the oven and then you cook your steak or chicken yourself – it's pretty good but I always get tense that I'm going to burn myself – It's hot and you are given warning but I'm clumsy!
Looks amazing! Oysters fancy up any occasion 🙂

Love that first pic! so colorful :). We celebrated Thanksgiving at Pompstation last year…so delicious!
I've heard of this restaurant but never been before. It's going on my list. I live in The Hague but we make our way to Amsterdam quite often.
I know what you mean about date nights. We don't have kids either but whenever we get dressed up and go out to dinner is a special occasion.
Killer outfit Liz! <3

Looks like a perfect date night!
You look incredible.
Glad to hear you're feeling better.
you're right. just because you don't have kids and every night could be considered a date night, there's something so exciting and special about getting all dressed up and going out and having a really good conversation over some drinks. i love those nights with John, they're very very special.
