| - Thank God for their $25 3 course late night menu!
I'm a night owl to begin with, so this is perfect for me.
I had heard grumbles before that the clientele was snobby and looked down on certain others, I can definitely imagine this is the kind of place that gentlemen were asked to wear a suit and tie to dine here in the olden days.
The cheap menu is going to bring a different clientele i can kind of blend into, so it works on so many levels.
Their regular steaks are in the $40-50 range, chicken and fish is slightly below, the sides are an extra $5.
First nice touch: complementary pickles and coleslaw, normally not a fan of slaw, but this one was the best I've ever had. The baguette was also quite good.
I had the chopped liver, tiny scoop with fried onions, very delicious but small in size.
Onto the rib steak, the fat is so succulent you will eat it up, do not leave it on the plate, that would be a tragedy. The piece was about10oz in size, so decent, it comes with a decadent Monte Carlo Potato.
My friend got the Kobe Burger, it was good, but M:Brgr does it better,
Our meal comes with coffee or tea, but no dessert.
Dessert was the main drawback, No Millefeuille, no Cheesecake, No Tarte Tatin,
so our fourth choice was Panna Cota and Chocolate Cake ($12 each)
The price is just too high and the desserts were just ok, but i guess they need to make their money back somehow.
The setting is very upscale masculine, people are loud, but that's OK, I like the fact we had a nice table by the window. The service is curt, competent but not overly polite.
Their late night menu is tantalizing, and I would love to try every item on there.
