| - The interior is very nice and upscale. The inside temperature however was quite chilly. Maybe when it's full inside it's warmer, but that wasn't the case when we dined.
The food was great. We ordered the sesame calamari, which had a tasty breading. Next we had the roasted beet salad, which we split because normally salads at steakhouses are decent in size. This was not the case. When the salad showed up, we both laughed, saying is that it? Did I suddenly show up at a "tasting" restaurant..?! Yes it was that small. I've never seen a smaller salad, lol. Anyway, it was very good, but would have liked more of it. Then I had the bison filet mignon, which was excellent. It was a great cut of meat. The doneness wasn't quite perfect, as it was a little rarer and cooler than I would have liked, but excellent flavor nonetheless. The hubby had the ahi tuna, which he said was very good, but not excellent. We also had garlic mashed potatoes- which were good, albeit a bit on the thick side and quite small in portion size.
For the money and portion sizes, we'll probably just go to Mastro's next time. When you pay $10-13 per side at Mastro's, you know you're going to get big portions and it's consistently the same every time. Also, our service at EM was slow - we did a lot of waiting around for the waitress which definitely takes away from the experience. We've never had that happen at Mastro's. So those are the reasons we'll probably just go to M's next time.
