One buck, two buck, three buck, four ..... this little rider wanted more.
Wow, what a place. This was my first time there and it certainly did not disappoint. I decided to try this gem for restaurant week knowing they had a featured menu. Friends have been suggesting Buck & Rider for a while so it was finally time to give it a shot.
I pulled up and was greeted by valet drivers. Opened my door and parked my car. My only embarrassment here was that I didn't have fancy enough car to have it parked in the front lol. We walked in and despite not having reservations and despite it being a Saturday night we were told it would only be 30 minutes. While we waited we were offered drinks and cocktails. They even had complimentary cookies to sweeten your taste buds as you wait. We were finally seated in a nice romantic spot with just the right lighting.
The interior was spectacular. Not too dark not too bright. Really did feel romantic and intimate. The fresh oyster bar was right in front for all to see as the masters prepped those little succulents.
We ordered drinks and looked over the menu. We ended up choosing oysters, the crab cakes and asparagus as well as the New York strip steak with a loaded baked potato. The oysters were seriously some of the best I have had. The crab cakes were literally all crab. Which was amazing. Normally restaurants will add filler but not here. The steak was spectacular. Tender and grilled exactly how we ordered it. It was so juicy and so flavorful that I yearned for more and more. We ended the evening with some gelato.
Overall way to go Buck & Rider !! Would recommend this restaurant and would definitely go back.
Only small disappointment was that they ran out of fish and only had Salmon left.
