My power went out around dinner time so we decided to go to Andiron Steak . My husband didn't know I ate a sushi roll and some egg rolls a couple hours before hand so I wasn't super hungry.
I thought this would be a great opportunity to try some of their seafood appetizers . I decided to take a chance on the Grilled Octopus ($15.00) . This was taking a big leap of faith since I haven't really tried octopus ...there was a piece of an octopus in a Bloody Mary I had a summer ago but that was it. When it came out it was a bit charred on the outside but really tender on the inside. It came with fingerling potatoes , pickled peppers with romesco. The pickled peppers went so well with this dish. I ate every little pepper on my plate!
My second choice was the Shrimp Cocktail ($16.00). I think it's always fun to see how each restaurant will serve it. Will it be in a glass....hmmm the anticipation! Andiron Steak serves them on a plate just so you know. The shrimp are nice in size and very fresh! I ate some of the biscuits as well which were very good!
We ended our dinner on a sweet note. I knew that they are known for their Creme Brulee Donuts so I figured they would always be there. We tried one of their featured desserts instead. The Andrion "Snikkers" Bar ($9.00) is their take on a Snickers bar . It was made with 64% Vairohna chocolate mousse, peanut nougat, and salted caramel peanuts. It was a perfect ending to a hot evening.
I remember thinking how wonderful it was to have a nice restaurant so close rather than treking to the strip. The ambiance reminded me of the Hamptons (honestly I've never been to the Hamptons...I'm just going by what I see in the movies) It had a relaxed vibe to it. I would love to come back and experience their brunch!
