| - My husband and I came to celebrate the end of his MBA program. He is a major steak lover and loves these kinds of places but neither of us had ever been. We had a reservation and were seated very promptly by the manager. The server also had a slip of paper with our last names and greeted us as such. We had two servers, Jane and I can't remember the guy's name. Jane had her spiel down (as I heard her repeat it to the table behind us) and was somewhat likeable. I found her off-putting at times such as when she acted caught off-guard when I ordered an appetizer as my dinner. Then she smiled at me in an all-knowing way as if I was one of "those" girls ordering something small for dinner. I didn't say anything but my husband caught on as he said something about it after she left the table. Then later I overheard her jokingly ask a gay male couple seated by us "who is the Mrs?" when presenting their bill. That rubbed me wrong way, too, but maybe I was being sensitive.
Anyway, they brought a large warm onion loaf of bread. It was okay...I ate several pieces. For dinner, we had the clams casino appetizer ($12), for my meal I had the baked prime platter ($22), my husband had the cajun ribeye ($47), bacon and onion mac-n-cheese ($11) and parmesan truffle fries ($11). Everything was very good except the fries because they never brought it out! It was on the bill, though, so I am not sure what happened there. They took it off when we brought it to their attention. Oh, that reminds me, Jane and the other server apologized for the oversight but Jane took it one step further by saying that at least it wasn't her mistake. Tacky.
My baked seafood platter consisted of one breaded large shrimp, one bacon wrapped scallop, one oysters rockerfeller, and one small lump crab cake. For $22????? Um okay....the horseradish sauce they gave with it was amazing though. My husband was in love with his steak. I had a bite, too, and it was really good. The mac-n-cheese was very cheesy and decadent. For dessert, we had the small chocolate lava cake with a scoop of ice cream ($15). I'm not sure why Jane said it took a half hour to cook but either way, it was very delicious.
Adding a couple glasses of wine (it took awhile for my husband to be asked if he liked a second glass of wine-after his first had been empty for at least 10 minutes), our bill came to $150. I knew it would be expensive but didn't care because it was a gift to my husband. I just don't get places like this. The service wasn't better than other places (and in some instance, worse), and the food didn't wow me. My husband had a good point that it could be hard to do that with seafood. I tend to agree but at that price point and the amount of food, I should have loved it. Instead, it was comparable to places half the price. My husband will probably go back....but without me. Meh, not interested.
