Sonya's at Disney's Vero Beach Resort
Written by Leann Pettit
We ate at Sonya's at Disney's Vero Beach Resort on Valentine's Day. While the restaurant had a special surf and turf for two entree, they also served their entire regular menu as well.
We both ordered the Oak Grilled Beef Tenderloin Filet, which is served with truffle mac and cheese and a red wine sauce. The filet was cooked perfectly to just before medium well and was incredibly tender. The red wine sauce was peppery and the cheese from the mac and cheese mixed with the red wine sauce, which made it heavenly for both the mac and cheese and the steak.
We also ordered the special dessert duo, which was a passion fruit cream puff and a chocolate bomb cake. The cream puff was made with a delicate, buttery, flaky pastry on the top and bottom and filled in the center with a light and fluffy cream that definitely let the passion fruit flavor shine through.
The chocolate bomb was in the style of a lava cake - a moist cake which surrounds a moister, oozing center. The duo was designed for Valentine's Day as a dessert for two.
The night we went, the restaurant was booked solid, so definitely make reservations in advance.

Trio
We were looking for a good steakhouse for our first trip to Texas and came across Trio, located in the Four Seasons on San Jacinto Blvd. in downtown Austin. This much more refined steak house (think Morton's, not Longhorns) also serves seafood and has a very impressive wine list.
We both ordered the 10 oz. filet, which was moist and flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Sides, which are separate from your entree, are large enough for two to three people to share. We ordered the truffled mac and 5 cheese and the olive oil mashed potatoes. Both were delicious, the potatoes the star of the show.
The steaks were also served with three accoutrements, seasoned sea salt, Chimmichurri sauce and one other, a brown sauce that was my favorite, but I have no idea what it was (other than delicious).
Make reservations, for sure, as Trio can get full for dinner.
