| - Strip: Mouthwatering steak, scrumptious side dishes, perfect atmosphere.
Reservations, while not required are definitely suggested for Fridays and Saturdays, dinner is served from 4p-10p, but the bar opens at 3p.
Strip describes its décor as "primitive elegance" - it's located inside Olde Avon Village's Ewers Barn which dates back to 1851. Upon entering, you will find a bar located to your left - where you can enjoy a Tickle Me Pink martini (yum!). Upstairs you will find an intimate contemporary dining room. Outside - (which I have yet to enjoy) is a spacious patio complete with waterfall and fire pit.
The "Dinner for Two" has been our go-to both times, it comes with two 6 ounce filets, two house salads or soup of the day, two sides, and a dessert - all for $79. You can get the 12 ounce steak if you wish and any of the salads (all for modest upsize charges).
My personal fave is the Trapped salad (cold lobster salad with cherry tomatoes, carrots, celery, and onion in a mayo-base dressing and layered with fresh guacamole), the 6 ounce filet with Horseradish Cream sauce, and the Gruyère Mac & Cheese as a side.
The menu garners a pretty big selection of "soups & starters," including tator tots (stuffed with bleu cheese and bacon, served with whole grain mustard) and Crab Cakes (three Maryland style cakes with pickled ginger remoulade). When it comes to making selections - you will have plenty of options here at Strip. Even though Strip is a Contemporary Steakhouse - they're also known for their delicious Seafood selections. Not to mention, it's Clam Bake season now and they're running some delicious specials!
Strip is a great experience for a special celebration or a first date (it's fancy but not so fancy that you can't roll in, in some dark jeans and a nice top).
During our last visit our waiter filled us in on the fact that they will be revamping the menu to include some savory Fall dishes - we're looking forward to it and will be back soon!
