Highlight: The tableside preparation of the Caesar Salad got me excited, and the breakfast muffin parting-gift was a nice touch. I was a little disappointed since the steak didn't really blow me away. It was a bit cold when it arrived at the table.
I came here for a date night with my boyfriend. The restaurant set-up was beautiful, with different rooms and areas with slightly different décor and setup. We were seated in a more private room that was dimly lit and quiet, whereas the outer area had more brightly-lit big tables for larger groups and a bar area.
Their cheese bread with herb-whipped butter - BOMB.COM. My Jacob's Caesar Salad was prepared tableside, which was a nice touch since I was able to see what they were putting into it. Everybody on Yelp was really hyping up this salad so I was expecting some life-changing leaves. The salad was good, but not great. The thick cut bacon was heavenly and the Tabasco gave it a subtle kick, but it's not a salad I would pay $20 again for. In theory the duck fat French fried potatoes are right up my alley, but in reality, the results were a too salty for my tastes. They were nice to dip into the steak dips, but what does it take for a girl to get some ketchup around here.
I ordered a California Cut Striploin aged 55 days (medium) and the man went all in for the 90 days aged Striploin (medium rare). The 40 extra days of aging that Henry's striploin had over my steak actually made a huge difference. It was much more tender and juicy, with a greater depth of flavour. I'd recommend going as old as you can afford.
Our server came out with a plate of dipping salts, and another plate with various sauces. With the steak already well seasoned, dipping it in more salts felt like overkill. In addition to the fries, a lot of salt was going on. Of all the dipping options my favourites were the Hawaiian charcoal infused salt, the Argentinian green chili sauce, and the creamy Danish blue cheese spread.
The hostesses and wait staff were very polite and highly attentive which is obviously a plus, but at times it was to the point where it made me a little uncomfortable. I know it's a personal preference, but the very formal atmosphere felt stiff and detracted from me being able to enjoy myself. I cracked a bacon joke to the man making my salad and I got nothin'. It is definitely great place for business dinners and fancy special occasions. A good date night restaurant if you're trying to impress (aka. First dates).
