Before heading in to see Believe Nick and I decided to make a big night of it and eat a nice dinner. Every hotel has a steakhouse so it wasn't like we looked over all the menus or anything to pick this one. It was chosen sheerly by the virtue of being in the same place as the show we were seeing. With that said I felt it was a very, very good choice.
We started with a cheese plate that had 3 types of cheese and accoutrements for a mere $14, which I thought was very reasonable. I appreciated the fact that they had a good assortment to choose from, I think around 10 cheeses. I also had a glass of champagne and Nick had a Chimay. Both of these I still found to be a pretty good deal, considering where we were in terms of city and restaurant style.
After that we shared a salad with comice pears, smoked bacon and blue cheese, roasted fingerling potatoes with crème fraîche and chives, and grilled asparagus in a lemon citrus olive oil in addition to our main entrees. I had a black angus Niman beef strip steak and Nick had a Berkshire Heritage pork with apricot chutney, both of which were cooked exactly the way we ordered them and were priced in the mid to high 30s.
While, this was definitely an expensive meal it was also a meal worth the price. We had the dual servers so when one wasn't around to help us the other was no matter what we needed. There is something about this system that I really like because you have two familiar faces so you're never left without drink refills or other necessities, but they also aren't done by a stranger each time so you get a sense of familiarity throughout your meal.
