need restaurant rec for friday
my stepmom is coming to town and taking us to dinner for our anniversary. cost is not an issue. place needs to be family friendly, we gotta bring Kira with us. my stepmom is doing hcg diet so only gets 500 calories per day. she needs to eat fish, preferably broiled. I much prefer red meat. So recommend a good place.
thanks.
Also location not a big deal, will drive for food. 
Re: need restaurant rec for friday
What about Victoria?
also - wtf - 500 calories a day? Is that safe?
I've heard about these diets on the radio. They can't be safe. 500 calories a day is ridic.

Since cost is not an issue and you want red meat I would come to Annapolis and go to Lewnes' steakhouse. I am sure that their broiled tuna steak or salmon filet is excellent. They sometimes have other fish available.
We have gone there w/ our kids. There is no official kids' menu but you can order sides for Kira and I have them split steaks (like I order the regular size filet and have them cut it to a petite filet for me and put the excess on a plate for E.) They will do anything for you there.
No they're not safe, at all. There's always posts on H&F about it. People think it's a magical diet that makes you lose weight but no, you're just starving yourself, nothing magical there. Studies have shown it wrecks your metabolism, slowing it significantly just to "hold on" to any food you do take in so when you eat more than 500 cal/day you put the weight back on much faster because you have a very slow metabolism. This diet and the diet pills that make you poop yourself (Alli?) are a great combination!
What about Bonefish for food? They have tons of fish and DH loves their steak.
I told her that the diet is a crock of poo but she's losing weight so she is convinced it works. obviously one will lose weight when only eating 500 calories. um that diet would not work for me as my banana pudding shake from CFA has 800 calories.
We might try Lewnes or Stoney River. Thanks girls.
