| - I came here with my bro on a busy night. Not really planned, just kinda dropped in cause it was his birthday. We didn't have a reservation and it was pretty busy, but they quickly offered us a spot at the bar upstairs.
It was perfect because there was a basketball game on, and we got to watch the bartender dude prepare oysters and talk about steaks and shoot the shit. He was a cool dude and super helpful. After getting a detailed explanation of the cuts and other stuff I've long since forgotten, he gave us recommendations and we ended up ordering 2 steaks - Alberta meat vs US somewhere, some beefsteak tomatoes and potato gratin.
Based on the recommendation of super waiter, we ended up sharing the steaks between my bro and I so that we could compare and contrast the steaks. They were definitely different, very different, but both really delicious. My bro preferred the US steak but I liked the Albert cut, although honestly they were both really really tasty. The sides were also fantastic. That potato gratin, my gawd!
After the meal, super waiter offered us some free dessert wine even though we couldn't move. I accepted but my brother declined, then we got a tour of the temperature controlled steak room where the magic happens. It was a really great experience, and I am glad I ate here. It was a classy steakhouse that didn't feel all uppity, but rather welcoming instead. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come again! Jacobs, you rock!
