| - I did not expect this place to be so packed on a Monday night as it was! There were even people who drove all the way from Georgia to get to this place! It's pretty dim in here and there's a sudden drop going from the bar to the main dining area in the back. I hate layouts like this, I'm always confused if I should walk to the back where the host/ess is or stand around till they come up to me.
Anyways seated and ready for to chow down I had originally come here because I heard they have a killer French onion soup which I was really craving, and since I was already here I figured let's just splurge and go all the way with it. This would probably be one of the few times a year I eat beef I planned to gorge on it and have a meat hangover the next day. I selected a NY strip encrusted with bleu cheese, and side salad along with the french onion soup of course. The salad came out first while I was working on the complimentary cheddar and crackers, the presentation for this is kind of lacking, and cutting it up into more edible pieces was quite a challenge with only a butter knife to work with, but the ranch more than made up for it. Creamy dreamy goodness and you can tell that it was made with love. Next came the glorious french onion soup, steaming hot and topped with a nice crust of cheesy goodness! The only fault I could find was bread was a bit too soggy and was in the process of dissolving into the soup, but oh god the broth was incredible! Beefy flavorful goodness that leaves you with a warm comforting feeling, this is the epitome the feelings I think soup should stir in you when eaten. The steak brought out shortly afterwards sizzling on a hot skillet amused me a bit. Because that just meant I'd be waiting the 7-10 minutes for a steak of that size to "rest" or risk ending up with a less than satisfactory steak. I think they should have mentioned that because most people would just dig in and that would be a disservice to the excellent quality of steak they offer here. After waiting around and getting stared at by some fellow diners for just sitting around while a steak was in front of me I finally decided to cut in to it and the flavors were right on point. Perfectly developed and seasoned, however I'd say go a bit easier on the butter that you brush onto the steak before serving. I ended up just scraping the bleu cheese off because the steak was done so perfectly that I didn't feel like it needed it.
The service throughout all of this was impeccable. Personable, charming, informative, and attentive without being intrusive at all. I'd say one of the best services I've received in a restaurant so far. I don't really like the way the restaurant is set up but I loved the rest of the experience. Return trips shall have to be planned.
