My favorite thing I ever ate

I am a huge lover of food. I enjoy many different styles and tastes. When I try to think about what my favorite dish I ever ate, it's hard to come to a conclusion.
I am a meat and potatoes girl. I love steak. I have had many terrific steaks, but none form anywhere near where I live.
My senior year I traveled to California. One night we went out to eat at this nice restaurant in Orange County. It was this beautiful villa inspired place on the top of this hill. We went after dark and sat out on the patio by the fire. You could see all the house and streets scattered about the hills below. It was simply breathtaking.
But back to the dish. I ordered a fillet with mashed potatoes and asparagus. When it arrived it looked like a work of art. I almost didn't want to eat it, but I was glad I did. It was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were mixed with garlic and the skins and had and herby goodness. The meal was to die for.
Whenever I eat a steak, I think of that place. When I am back in California I will be visiting there again.
