| - I went to Hyde Park Steak House at Crocker Park in Westlake, OH with a friend during the weekend of April 2, 2016. We arrived around 7:30pm and were seated in a nice booth. (There was a freak and brief snow storm so the place was not packed as it would normally have been at 7:30pm). We each ordered soup, me french onion, my friend, lobster bisque. Both were fantastic. Both soups were served hot enough for us. A manager came out after we had our soup to serve us each an amuse-bouche which consisted of a slice of lightly seared, excellent quality tuna w/a bit of micro greens and a dab of mustard and sriracha sauce. Very nice. We each ordered the rib eye with one accompaniment. I ordered sauteed spinach and mushrooms, my friend ordered potatoes au gratin with gruyere cheese. Both accompaniments were as good as we'd hoped they would be. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, but our preference would have been to have the cook lighten up a little on the salt on our steaks. This did not, in any way ruin our experience, but we both felt a bit less salt on the steaks would have let the steak shine a bit more. The breads served with our meal were yummy--a ciabatta roll, a long, salted pretzel stick and two seeded flatbreads with a large slab of butter--one end dipped in ground pepper and the other end in what I think was salt. I'm sure we could have had more breads but we were too full. Neither of us could finish our steaks and so we took them home. My friend's dog really loved the leftover steaks.
