Made this for our romantic anniversay dinner. I must say, it is the best. My DH was so impressed. Very classy and elegant. Thanks.

Enjoyed the flavor of this dish but the sauce was far too thin, even after trying to reduce it for over 15 minutes. Maybe using heavy cream, instead of half-and-half might work better.
