While pizza and burgers are often the go-to choices for takeout or delivery, sometimes you just want to indulge with a juicy steak or gourmet seafood dish. If you’re in the mood to treat yourself to a fine dining experience at home, here are a few restaurants happy to oblige.
Cuisine & Wine Bistro
For a romantic evening at home, do as the French and dine on such delicacies as soupe a l’oignon, or filet de canard a l’orange. Let Chef Fabrice Buschtetz be your chef de cuisine as you dine on his French-inspired creations, many of which he’s crafted and perfected over his 30-year career working in restaurants in France. And what would dinner be without wine? Cuisine & Wine is now offering their “Somm Discovery” wine selection, each focusing on a region or vintage.

DC Steak House
While the location may be new, DC Steakhouse still continues to serve its American chophouse cuisine. Now located at the modern New Square development, the restaurant offers a delicious array of upscale cuisine for takeaway. Begin the shrimp cocktail filled with plump, tender shrimp, then feast on one of their entrée selections, which include filet mignon, lamb chops, and walleye pike, to name a few. (You can also add a lobster tail to any entrée, because why not?) Speaking of lobster, dress up your entrée with a side, including lobster mac ‘n cheese or lobster mashed potatoes.
