| - First things first, it is worth the steak education there - but you would definitely need to know what you want to order.
The steak plate they bring out at the beginning of the dinner is awesome - because your waiter takes you through the different types of beef they have in the ageing room. I noticed that their beef menu can changed day by day.
But if you see a ribeye on offer from the Black Angus in the US, I definitely recommend it. We, also, ordered two more locally raised steaks, like a bone in striploin and a porterhouse was solid - but the black Angus had the best flavour (more buttery fat flavour). The porterhouse was ok, but I found the bone-in striploin had a bit more of a grassy aftertaste, similar to lamb.
But the server did warn us - as they are very well informed as to the diet and origin of the cattle you are ordering to ingest that evening.
The Ceasar salad is made table side - which is a nice show - but I think depending on who makes the salad - it may be a hit or miss. In our case, the maker over did it on the pepper and Worcester sauce.
Lobster Cobb was beautifully presented and there is quite a bit of Lobster in it and it tasted nice and creamy from the avocado in the salad.
Sides - we ordered the mushrooms, stuffed baked potato, asparagus and a 1/2 portion of the foie gras poutine. They are good for sharing - but other than the stuffed baked potato, they didn't make much of an impression as must order. Most of the sides are avaliable in 1/2 portions minus the stuffed baked potato.
For a special celebration - you should get wowed by the impressive service. But ask them to seat you in the piano bar lounge area - much quieter than the dining area.
Because we decided to go family style with the steaks and sides - we didn't get a chance to try dessert - but they have an petit fours plate they give you plus "breakfast" afterwards.
Wine is pricey - $15 and up per glass, but the wine list is solid. I ordered a Pinot noir from Italy and it was good to sip through the entire night - I ordered the 6 oz. glass. The beer is much more reasonably priced.
Overall - not the best steak I've ever had - but a solid choice - but let's be honest here - you really are paying for the outstanding service at these prices and the cache of being a "high roller".
5 yelp stars on service and 3 yelp stars for food - so outcome is 4 yelp stars.
