| - Everything about the restaurant experience here was well done. Valet dudes held the door for my gf and I which was not necessary but well appreciated. The building itself is an old bank and is a throwback to a different time when everything was well built and opulent, tastefully done. The murals on the walls, the oversized windows, the atrium; you almost feel like you're eating in a part of Grand Central Station or something.
Onto the food:
We started out with a variety of three cheeses (goat, sheep, gouda) accompanied by jams, jellies, crackers, bread, mixed veggies. Delicious, well balanced.
GF had the pork tenderloin. I don't dine on swine but she seemed to love it. She said it was perfectly cooked and had some great grill marks on it, sitting on a bed of Corn Risotto, Poblano Pepper Relish, and Ranchero Sauce.
I had the grilled ribeye with heirloom tomato salad, blue cheese, confit red skins and fingerlings. I had it grilled medium and it was cooked to perfection, the tomatoes added some nice zest and contrasted the meat well. Right on queue the red skins soaked up all the excess juice of the steak and were seasoned nicely.
All in all just a great job, the service was also great!
