| - after a horrible experience at greenhouse tavern, my fiancé and i walked over here in a blizzard last night. i had been here once, last summer, with my family who was in from california. my fiancé, before moving to cleveland, had stayed at the westin for work and ate at urban farmer several times during his stay and absolutely loved it.
our waitress was tall and blonde and an absolute pleasure. she took the time to double check every single thing in regards to my food allergy.
here is what we had to eat;
6 east coast oysters - they don't give you the location the oysters are coming from but regardless they were absolutely delicious, mild and subtly sweet.
caramalized carrots - these were so delicious and really gorgeous. i am a huge fan of crunchy vegetables and am very disappointed when places over cook them so these were such a pleasant surprise. the addition of beets was a really wonderful touch. i could eat these everyday.
mushrooms - yum! what's better that steak and mushrooms?! can't go wrong there.
candied bacon - delicious like candy. a little tough / hard on the edges but nothing major, i won't tell if you don't.
bone marrow - omg this was without a doubt one of the best things i have ever tasted in my life. if i could drink this, i would, everyday. i had never had bone marrow before and my fiancé ordered it for us to split. i will note that it's seasoned (to perfection) and has a delicious mustard finish. omg thinking about this makes me just want to walk back over.
steaks - i had the Piedmontese medium rare and just wow. one of the best steaks i've ever had in my life, and dipped in that bone marrow, incredible. my fiancé had the 18 oz new creation 42 day dry aged steak. perfection.
we had such a wonderful time here. our waitress constantly checked in to make sure everything was delicious, and it was. we didnt want to stop the fun so we went to the bar to watch the end of the cavs game. one of my favorite after dinner drinks is a coffee and a shot of frangelico and the bartender actually made me a drink out of this (shook the coffee and frangelico in the mixer) and served it over ice. SO deliciously frothy and i had never even thought of that.
all in all, everything was so absolutely fantastic. i can't wait until summer so we can sit at the picnic tables outside.
