| - WINNER WINNER, STEAK DINNER!
My first experience here at Craft Steak was a pretty bad one. Why you ask? First of all, I was very young. Secondly, what the hell did I know about good steak!? Absolutely nothing. Well, my boyfriend and I decided we'd give it a second chance since we saw that yelpers gave it such good reviews and we found out that it was owned by Tom Colicchio. PLUS, we had a nice win at the Palazzo so dinner was on them! Hahaha.
We were seated within 5-10 minutes upon arriving for our 8:00 reservation. If you plan on come during a holiday weekend, reservations are highly suggested because they get pretty booked up. The entire restaurant is very dimly lit with a romantic ambiance so it was perfect for our date. Freshly baked dinner rolls are served while you wait to order.
We both decided to order the Grade 8 Kobe Style Wagu Beef (14 oz. Ribeye). To my surprise, the 14 oz. turned out to be a very large cut. The was my first time trying Wagu and it was delicious! The only this is, we ordered the steak to be cooked medium and although it had the pink center, the outer part of the steak was too charred so it made the steak slightly dry. For our sides we had the Roasted Garlic and Leek Potato Gratin and the Green Been Amandine. The potatoes are a must try! Full of garlic flavor and oh so delicious!
The best part of dinner was the dessert of course! We tried the Liquid Chocolate Cake with Sicilian Pistachio Ice Cream. Mmmmm Mmmmm good! If you like the mild bitterness of dark chocolate, you will definitely love this dessert.
Service was good, but wasn't great. Probably wouldn't come back anytime soon, but glad I gave it a second try.
