| - 3.5/5, +.5 for service
After being shut out of other steakhouses in the city for Christmas Day due to it being fully booked, I came across Blackhorn Steakhouse and decided to try this place out, as the menu looked promising and the reviews seemed excellent.
The interior is quite dark. Not a lot of lighting, which was a pretty good atmosphere for a date...although most of the customers here that night were of the older clientele.
There was a special Christmas Day menu that day. To be honest I never looked at the actual menu, so I wasn't sure if there were price differences or selection changes, but at least everything that my family and I wanted were all in the menu.
I had the green peppercorn steak, followed by the trufflicious cake. My family also shared escargots as an appetizer. The escargots were not the best; while they were plentiful, the pieces were quite small and I tasted a lot more of the cheese than the escargot itself. The peppercorn steak, however, was excellent. Perfectly cooked medium rare, juicy, and the peppercorn added a nice zesty touch to it. The trufflicious cake was decent, but it was kinda overshadowed by the tiramisu cake my parents ordered, which was superior to the trufflicious cake in taste IMO.
Service was excellent, and the food was very reasonably priced. I'll definitely return for other special occasions, and perhaps try some other items since it seemed the Christmas Day menu was limited compared to their wealth of steak options available.
