| - What a great steakhouse. My girlfriend and I made reservations for 9 p.m. on a Friday night, to try their after 9 menu. We were excited, as we were going to get a good meal in a nice steakhouse for an amazing price. For those unaware, the after 9 menu gives you a choice of appetizer, a main (including a couple of steaks to choose from) and coffee/tea for $25. Outstanding.
We got there a little bit after nine, and there was a short wait in their lounge. We were seated in about five minutes. Their tables are fairly close to each other though, so for those who like a bit more space, you've been warned. Our server promptly asked us if we wanted drinks, and I ordered a Manhattan.
Both of us went with the late night menu, she got the caesar salad to start and a rib steak for the main, and I got the salmon tartar and a rib steak as well (I've heard amazing things about their rib steak). Both of us got it medium rare. Shortly after that, we were served bread, pickles, and a heaping mound of coleslaw. The bread was delicious (two different types) and the coleslaw was the perfect pre-dinner snack. We shared a pickle as well.
Our appetizers came out quickly, and both were good. The salmon tartar was excellent. The steaks arrived soon after and we both dug in. I really enjoyed mine, the seasoning was great. My girlfriend found hers a bit too rare for her liking (both of ours were the same temperature) but I'm not too fussed about it being a bit rare. She raised it with the waiter who promptly brought it back to the kitchen to grill for a little longer. The waiter was fantastic, double checking with me to make sure I was absolutely okay with mine.
We were full after our meal, and finished the night with two cups of decaf. All in all, their after 9 menu is an incredible value and the service we received was top notch. I was a bit worried that we'd get slightly sloppier service because we were ordering off the "cheap" menu, but that never happened. I really enjoyed my experience here.
