I'm staying at the Delta for 3 weeks on a business trip and being tired of Chinese food and crappy pizza I thought I would check out the hotel restaurant Bb33. It was a Monday night and the place only had 3 or 4 other tables. I was greeted by a friendly hostess who asked what room I was staying in and promptly seated me.
I had heard about the prix fix and was hoping it would be something interesting that nigh but none of the offerings inspired me so I went with the New York strip loin steak. The wines by the glass are very limited and I expected there to be more choices since this was a hotel restaurant that probably has lots of patrons dining alone and don't opt for a bottle. I ended up paired my meal with a glass of Cabernet Franc.
While waiting for my entree the waiter brought the wine and some nice crusty bread accompanied by a trio of dipping oils and butter. The first was an oil and vinegar mix which I didn't care for along with whole butter and an herb infused olive oil. The butter was at the perfect room temperature and the herb oil had a very nice herb flavor but would have been much better using a high grade extra virgin olive oil.
The steak arrived presented very nicely with some herb garnishments a ramekin of peppercorn sauce, roasted vegetables and the spun yukon gold mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly on first slice but because it was so thin it continued to cook as I ate it. By the time I was finished it was way past the medium rare I had ordered. The steak was well seasoned and would have been a great meal if it had been a few ounces bigger. 8 oz is just too small for a New York Strip.
Overall it was a good meal and the service was very attentive but I still expected more for these prices. For hotel food it was pretty good.
