| - Although the food and service are amazing, the 3 hours to Midnight special is the only way to go for us students. Thursday to Saturday, after 9pm, $25 for all-you-can-eat crisp acidic coleslaw, crunchy fresh pickles, and warm bread. You also get an appetizer, main dish, side, and tea/coffee. Really, all the mains are great, so you can't go wrong. Just remember the portions are a little smaller. If you like your meat medium or less, try to avoid the rib steak. It's too thin, so you risk it being overcooked. However, the rib steak is a solid option when ordering from the regular menu. Play it safe with the petit-filet and be sure to ask for garlic and spice on top. For the appetizer, the salmon tartare is really great... much better than a plain ol' salad.
Now, the moment you've all been waiting for... the Coup de GrĂ¢ce. Leave your diets at the door, grab those lactaid pills if you need them, and forget about being a vegan. When the waiter asks you what you want as the side, the only answer is, "Monte-Carlo, please!"
Two main reasons why this isn't a 5-star: (1) They recently added a $5 extra charge for the petit-filet on the $25 special menu... not a huge issue since the cost/value ratio is still great; and (2) I've been to Moishe's many, many, many times - sometime's the steak doesn't come out as I was hoping for. The consistency is a little off, but they always remedy the situation without any question at all. Again, not the biggest concern.
Finally, the restaurant gets very busy at times, so be prepared to wait just a bit. Grab a drink, sit back, and relax. The food is worth the wait. Once you've had a steak at Moishe's, you can't go anywhere else... not even Gibby's (yup, that one is going to cause a little stir... oh well!)
Eat up!
P.S.: Go to Costco, buy the Moishe's $100.00 gift card for $80.00 - you get 2 x $50.00 and you don't have to spend it all at once. This gift card makes the deal that much sweeter!
