At dinner, I ordered filet mignon. When it was served, the waiter asked me to choose my knife from this presentation box. It was so tender, a butter knife would have worked best. Has this ever happened to you at a gourmet restaurant? So delicious. #food #RitzCarltonYachtCollection #travel ... See MoreSee Less
What! No pocket knife. 😉 I love the plate! It presents it like a masterpiece.
Heck no. Your living above my comfort level! 🙂
No... never did..looks good 👍
Which one did you select? The one on our center left looks like it was made for slicing huge chunks of meat from beef on the hook. (Think where Rocky practiced boxing...)
I have never had that happen but it sure looks really good.
Had a chilled fork and plate with my salad at LaCosta resort many moons ago. Very fancy place. Had Lobster Newburg with a giant piece of shell and they did nothing but took my plate way. So I had nothing to eat! Our dinner 40 years or so ago was over $250......very expensive rolls and cold salad!
I was never offered a choice of knives, but I was offered a chilled fork for the salad course in a very upscale restaurant. 
No but interesting
Fancy!
Dr. Lori No I haven't. But I could get used to it!
No that’s never happened to me. Filet mignon is my favorite cut of meat
Never!
I was never forgiven a knife selection but when you're in Pittsburgh and you wanna splurge on yourself, go to Ruth's Chris steakhouse. You can thank me later.
Look at you, all fancy😉🩷
Nope
I’m a big fan of filet; it’s my favorite cut. That plate looks absolutely divine Dr. Lori! I am so jealous of the fare…over and again!
Woo. La ti da!
Interesting. He knew he was in the presence of “top shelf” knowledge 🤩
This is so cool. I love a good steak knife ❤️
Nope! So which knife did you choose? And why? For keeps?
Poor you!
No, but that fillet looks amazing!
My dad pulled out his hunting knife at ponderosa
Wow! I never had that experience before at a restaurant. They usually bring you a serrated knife that is 12 inches long and weighs at least 2 pounds!
Yes, there’s a steak house where I live that offers a choice of steak knives. They bring the case to the table.
