| - Came in with my brother to use the $20 off $50 mailer coupon I've had sitting in my purse for a while and nearly forgot about until the day before it expires. Booked a reservation online through OpenTable, no problems whatsoever with that.
Being a steak lover, I ordered the 10 oz prime sirloin ($30.95) with mashed potatoes. The steak was great; good quality meat, lots of juice, grilled as I asked for it, crispy exterior, melt in your mouth texture, but just slightly not hot enough. The mashed potatoes were good, but I think some gravy would have been great since it did get a bit dry halfway through the meal. Onion crisps and the accompanying greens brought a good balance to the steak and potatoes; really wished there was more of the salad.
Also ordered some parmesan truffle fries ($5) to share. They were light and crispy and tasted good, but I didn't really taste parmesan or truffle, just some rosemary. The complimentary bread at the beginning of the meal was a bit bland but toasted perfectly and came with butter that more resembled buttercream (like on cakes) more than normal butter.
All in all, a satisfactory meal at a satisfactory price (we came up to just under $60 for 2 people). Most of the sides were good, not mind blowingly great, but the steak is what I came for and it was solid. Prices seem to be slightly lower than at other similar establishments, which doesn't hurt. The atmosphere in the part of the restaurant where we sat was dimly lit and very private - perfect for dates or for chatting, though it was not so well suited for taking pictures. I really liked how quiet and cozy it was; very relaxing and low stress compared to other places where the music is so loud you can't have a decent conversation. I'd definitely consider coming back as I had a great time here on my first visit.
