3.5 stars - a good old fashion steakhouse with excellent service and comfortable / relaxing atmosphere.
Service was excellent and attentive. Drink orders were taken immediately, water was refilled quickly, food / wine recommendations were provided and the servers checked in multiple times to ensure all was good.
I started with the oysters which were good but the sauces / horseradish accompanying the oysters were rather plain and flavourless. One/six oysters was not shucked properly. I must admit they do have a good cheese garlic bread - give it a try.
I thought the fillet mignon cut was excellent - packed with flavour and cooked exactly as I requested - perfectly medium rare. The steak was clearly the highlight of the evening.
Unfortunately the sides were not of the same quality. The baked potato was average at best. I asked for all the toppings but the portions were minimal (I think I had 4-5 chives at most!). The mega sized onion rings were OK but nothing special. The side asparagus was served cold.
The restaurant decor / atmosphere screams old school steakhouse - lot's of dark woods, black leather, tables of all sizes, multiple booth styles and private dinning rooms.
Not sure how quickly I will return. Although the steak and service were excellent, the sides were not up to par. If I'm paying these prizes, I would prefer to go to Jacobs were the whole meal is equally excellent.
