Best RW Experience Yet at Rothmann’s Steakhouse and Grill!

After eating at Primehouse during Restaurant Week, Ben and I decided that for our next special occasion, we needed to visit another steakhouse. So when my birthday rolled around last week, we decided to visit Parlor Steakhouse, specifically for the porterhouse for two. 

We made reservations and surprisingly for it being a recession, Parlor was [...]
