| - Went with 3 people and the bill was $285 before tip.
$50 corkage fee - wine must not be on their list, limit of 2.
We entered at around 6pm and there were maybe 5-6 other tables. We got seated on this pillar, hard to describe. I think our server's name was Nina?
starters:
maryland blue crabcake - great. fluffy, flavorful, yum!
steve's chopped salad - surprisingly, this was really good. no regrets
meal:
we shared the following:
42 oz. chile rubbed double rib eye -wow..great meat, great oils, watch out for the pepper, it's really spicy (green one). I was waiting 3 months to have this, and it almost lived up to my expectations. The meat was good, but it wasn't "melt in your mouth." I still enjoyed it to the last bit. ate both of the ribs on the plate, haah.
2 - roasted sonoma foie gras- this was good, i love foie gras, but my party didn't so we only needed 1, 2 was overkill.
au gratin potatoes - if you love cheese....this is no question the best dish
black truffle creamed corn - this was a great balancer to the meal. the peppers were so spicy, this helped a lot.
Overall, the service was top shelf. They were not intrusive, observed from a far and knew when we needed their assistance. the corkage fee was over the top, but they did decant the wine in a nice decanter, provide stemware, but still, $50 for corkage seemed steep.
i'll come here again, it was a great gift to my best friend and we left full.
