| - I had such an incredible dinner last night! The husband and I were craving steak and have heard such wonderful things about Nero's, we decided to try for ourselves. We ended up ordering five courses, splitting each one (Yea, this is what we do. What can I say, we like to try as much as possible)!
We started with the seafood platter. You can tell a lot about a steakhouse with this dish. The lobster was huge, the crab legs sweet and juicy. The oysters were amazing. Everything was fresh and ice cold. I think they make the cocktail sauce there. I am not normally a cocktail sauce lover but could have eaten gallons of this stuff! We were off to a great start!
Next, the foie gras. Seared, which is my favorite way to consume it (Brein says pate is his favorite...I think we had a 15 minute argument over the subject)!! Nero's serves their foie with buttery. flaky bread sauteed apples and a thick maple syrup. And a very nice size cut as well. I hate going to an upscale restaurant where the foie is smaller than my thumb! This was the size of my palm!
A break from the heavy, we opted for the baby gem lettuce salad. It had a great mixture of tomatoes, boiled eggs and bacon. Plus the dressing was creamy and light. I liked the salad and would order it again (although I was thinking of the foie the entire time I ate the salad)!!!
Our seafood course? Seared Barramundi with little baby squash, mushrooms and an apple curry sauce. This is a lighter fish, flaky and moist. The sauce was the highlight of the plate. I loved the combination of apple and curry.
HIGHLIGHT OF THE MEAL!!!!! The Rib eye. First off it was HUGE!!! Like bigger than my head huge! Second, I have never put another thing in my mouth that could compare. The server said they dry age the meat (I normally prefer wet aged, but have changed my mind now). We ordered ours rare and it was cooked to perfection. Served still on the bone we fought over each bite. The meat was so flavorful and juicy.
We ordered two sides with the steak, which were both very good. Brein got the creamed spinach and I the glazed carrots. They were cooked perfectly, not mushy like baby food. The creamed spinach had great flavor Brein pointed out later that he thought there was nutmeg in the dish. Whatever it was it popped on my tongue!
All in all I really enjoyed my experience at Nero's. I will dream of that rib eye until I go back again (Which will be very, very soon)!!
