I don't normally do steakhouses but when I do I come to XO on New Years Eve and wait 2 hours because Joe Haden's there I tried to order the risotto as an appetizer but the wait staff refused since it wasn't an option. When I finally received it as my side, I complained about receiving rice, not realizing these things were synonymous, who knew? A friend, received a pile of Brussel sprouts and I don't believe he installed (good verbiage) such an order.
I would like everyone to have a great New Year. If you haven't set up a New Years resolution, you can go ahead and use mine. (My New Years resolution is to be more tough in certain situations).
I do believe everyone I had dined with was pleased with their food. Oh by the way, I was dining with a total of 14 people and that isn't even everybody that I know. One fellow did receive his steak overdone and the restaurant felt over easy (I mean uneasy) about it and provided the table with a round of drink. Unfortunately I don't remember what the drink was nor do I remember any of the conversation that was had at this event. I was pleased with my Ribeye and my date. Yelp.
