lockportlegend.com dining out the Lockport Legend | February 7, 2019 | 19 The Dish Love is in the air at Houlihan’s with an affordable four-course meal Specialty Valentine’s Day-themed cocktails also featured James Sanchez Contributing Editor It is getting close to that pressure-filled time of year when people start figuring out Valentine’s Day plans. It is a daunting task for some, a time at which overthinking is at a premium. But rightfully so. It is a night to convey to a loved one how much he or she means to the other. But Houlihan’s in Orland Park is helping Valentine’s Day planners ease their stress with a prix fixe menu featuring variety and the franchise’s fine-dining favorites. From Feb. 14-17, the restaurant is to offer a four-course meal for $50. And all of the dishes — as with everything at Houlihan’s — are made from scratch, according to Lisa Johannsen, marketing manager for the restaurant’s five Illinois locations: Wheaton, Naperville, Algonquin, Geneva and Orland Park. “This has been kind of a staple during Valentine’s Day at Houlihan’s, because this makes us unique,” Johannsen said. “This is somewhere couples can go if they’re looking to have a meal on a budget but still enjoy a great dinner.” The meal starts with the couple’s choice of one appetizer between the charcrusted ahi tuna, spinach dip and one of the restaurant’s hottest sellers: Houlihan’s Famous “Shrooms.” The last one on that list features giant mushroom caps stuffed Valentine’s Day Four-Course Menu for Two When: All day Feb. 14-17 Cost: $50 for two First course - Choose one • Houlihan’s Famous “Shrooms” • Char-crusted ahi tuna • Small spinach dip Second Course - Choose Two • Chicken tortilla soup • Baked potato soup • House salad • Caesar salad Third Course - Choose Two • Stuffed chicken breast • Meatloaf No. 9 • Grilled Atlantic salmon • Seared Georges Bank scallops (add four more scallops for $5) • Petite center-cut filet mignon (4 ounces) • Huge panko-fried shrimp All entrees have two sides, except seared Georges Bank scallops, which are served with risotto. Fourth course - Choose One • Brownie batter cake • Salted caramel gooey butter cake with a herb and garlic cream cheese, then battered and deep fried. Parmesan cheese and parsley are sprinkled on top of the fried treat for color, and they are accompanied by a horseradish cream sauce. “Absolutely guaranteed, on any fixed menu we have, you’ll find our ‘Shrooms,’” Johannsen said. “That’s one of our recipes in our menu that hasn’t changed since we opened in 1972.” The next offering is one’s choice of soup or salad. For soup, customers can either go the cream-based route with the baked potato soup, or tomato broth-based chicken tortilla soup, which Johannsen noted has a little kick to it. Houlihan’s house salad is more of a chopped salad, for which the lettuce is chopped finely. It has bacon, corn and croutons, or customers can ask for a traditional Caesar salad. The first two courses lead to the entree portion. Guests get to choose from six options. Five of them are served with the customer’s choice of potato (baked, fries or mashed), and either green beans or asparagus. The other one is the seared Georges Bank scallops, served with an asparagus risotto. The handful of scallops are placed on top of the bed of risotto, and garnished with baby arugula, a drizzle of basil-infused olive oil and a balsamic glaze. It’s one of Johannsen’s favorite dishes. “It’s very savory, but then you get a hint of sweetness with the balsamic glaze,” she said. “It’s a nice, refreshing dish.” The other dinner options are panko-crusted fried shrimp; 4-ounce center-cut filet mignon; grilled Atlantic salmon brushed with a dill-butter compound and The stuffed chicken breast, which is stuffed with a herb and garlic cream cheese, breaded, sauteed and finished in the oven, is one of the options for Houlihan’s Valentine’s Day Four- Course Menu for Two.

Lastly, the couple gets to share one of two dessert options: a brownie batter cake or the salted caramel gooey butter cake that is topped with vanilla bean ice cream. Throughout the meal, Houlihan’s features two specialty cocktails for $5 during the four-day Valentine’s Day promotion: Adam and Eve Appletini (left) and Cupid’s Concoction. guests can enjoy Houlihan’s two featured cocktails for the three-day special at only $5 each. The Adam and Eve Appletini consists of an apple-flavored schnapps, homemade lemonade and a cinnamon-sugar rim. The Cupid’s Concoction has La Marca Prosecco and French vodka infused with organic blood orange juice, mango and passion fruit. Along with Mother’s Day and New Year’s Eve, Johannsen said Valentine’s Day is among the busiest times of the year for Houlihan’s, and its special menus have a lot to do with it. The dinner portion alone is enough to satisfy one’s appetite. “You’ll never leave here hungry,” she said. “The sooner you get your reservations in, the better. We do fill up pretty quickly.”
