| - Was invited here for a birthday dinner. We had a large party and to my surprise we were seated outside. It was a tad chilly outside, but they had heat lamps so it wasn't too bad. Not too fancy and big menu selection with decent prices. (Small salads: $9.30 & $11.40, soups $5.90, sandwiches $12.40, seafood dishes $21.70, entrees $19.60, side dishes $5.90/8.20/9.80, and various steak prices from $25.70-34.80)
Started out with the first thing that caught our eye on the menu: PORTABELLO FRIES & HERB AIOLI. So incredibly delicious! Deep fried giant slices of mushrooms that were to die! If they weren't about 10$ an order, I think we would have gladly ordered 5 of those alone!
FOR HIM: He ordered the COLORADO LAMB PORTERHOUSE CHOPS that came with peewee potatoes, dried apricots and violet mustard. Well cooked and flavored, okay size for a $20 steak. He asked if there was a way to get a side of rice and they said no... even though I swear I saw rice included with a few of the entrees. But he devoured the whole thing easily and was overall satisified.
FOR HER: I ordered the JUMPING BEEF which were filet mignon tips, roasted tomatoes, red onions, crispy potatoes and peruvian demi-glace. Very flavorful I must say, but was a little disappointed with only 4 little pieces of meat and the "crispy potatoes" it was topped with were french fries. I did enjoy the roasted tomatoes! Luckily I wasn't too hungry from already eating the portobello fries and bread with butter, otherwise I don't think this meal would have filled me up ordinarily.
Overall, a good dining experience. Wasn't too happy about being outdoors in the cold weather (and I would complain about that more if I wasn't dressed warmly that day with a long sleeve sweater & thigh high boots) and would have loved to dine inside, but the service was excellent and food was flavorful! Wouldn't say it's a place I would want to eat at often, but definitely nothing negative to say either. Definitely a place to try if you are a steak enthusiast!
