I've had buffalo ribeyes and strip steaks from Whole Foods that were really good. But Elk? Really? Why?
Their website says that they carry turtle! | | | |

The Elk was very lean and very tasty, actually. I assume that the meat was from a commercial, domesticated herd. I'll bet you can find it in Chicago, if you look. | | | http://www.sweetandsourspectator.org | |

| Lunch:
The most gosh-awful meal at Las Brisas (completely the opposite experience last time). I had the Calamar al Mojo de Ajo which was recommended by the host (sauteed calamari medallions with bell peppers, capers and tomatoes in a creamy garlic butter sauce with vegetables and Mexican-style rice.)
The horrible service was what made the food and the experience awful. I asked for a kid's menu (which was offered the last time we were there). The server said they didn't have one. So I ordered for my 5 year old a HALF ORDER of nachos. The damn idiot brought out a mountain of nachos that could have fed two adults. I told him that was too much and he told me to help her eat it. On top of that, my soup came before our drinks. I nicely asked the idiot to remove the soup and bread plates and he only took half of them. The 1 bottle of Tazo peach tea I had was 4.45. WTF?
Dinner:
Pizza from a local pizzeria (was very good and very fresh)
