| - It's hard to put into words how much I love this place. To put things in perspective I took a picture of my first steak there, and had it as my facebook profile pic for YEARS!
When they first appeared in Mississauga I would come here at least once a week for a whole summer. It's that good. I would probably continue to go weekly if it weren't for my fear of rising cholesterol.
Lets get down to the science of it all.
Firstly, get the rib eye people. It's perfectly marbled, giving it tender buttery awesomeness, and features a bit of the rib eye cap. It's considered the best cut for these reasons.
Imagine with me if you will a hefty portion of perfectly marbled rib eye, thick and filling the plate with it's presence. Nothing else on the plate to distract you from the absolute beauty of the beast. Nothing else deserves to be plated next to this work of art. Served on a crazy hot plate, and covered in butter. Now the butter deserves special attention, because it's genius how the butter BROWNS under the heat of the plate as it is sitting in front of you. That's steak science people! Brown butter is awesome. Look it up if you don't know what it is.
This will be the most manly meal of your life. The steak is served sizzling, so much so you have to sit back, and might need to hold up your napkin to protect you from the crackling butter. This steak knows how to make an entrance, and wants you to know who is boss. I love this part because it addresses an often overlooked part of the dinning experience. And by this I mean offering dinners an EXPERIENCE, not just food. You will feel the heat of your plate, you will fear getting burned by the sizzling butter, you will be filled with the delightful aroma of browning butter/steak.
Even the sides are heavy, and focused. They are simply prepared with no new age, fancy, trendy crap. Just good quality sides. Can't go wrong with any of the choices they are all good. And same go with the desserts, but I doubt you will have space for it after eating a steak and side. You can get it to go. You will feel full, and high off the butter.
Some will be concerned with price, but it's reasonable when considering how expensive other trendy steak places are downtown, and the classy experience. Also they have a lunch menu, and an "early bird" dinner menu that is cheaper than their full dinner menu. I believe they deliver on value, which is very important to me.
Another concern you may have is your health. Pro tip: you can get the steak with reduced or no butter. Now you have no excuse. Go now.
