| - My wife and I made reservations at 5:00 p.m. The early time was so we could put our children into Kids Tyme, which is a babysitting service right in the hotel for the uninitiated or kidless. Restaurant was empty, we were seated right away and the service was prompt and friendly all night long. We spent about 2 hours there, and later on, about 6:30 p.m., they got really busy. Their level of busyness never detracted from our service however, always prompt and friendly. The busser especially was friendly and helpful and talkative, even grinding fresh coffee beans for my coffee at the end of the meal. Our server was Justin, who did a good job.
We had the shrimp appetizer, which was expensive at $16, but we got a lot of shrimp, and they were very well prepared. We both liked the appetizer a lot. Both my wife and I got steaks, she the ribeye and me the USDA Prime New York strip. Both steaks were prepared as ordered, and my NY strip was especially tasty. We didn't get any of the toppings or sauces, as we think they detract from a really good steak, and these were really good steaks. Use the toppings and sauces at Sizzler. We ordered the pommes frites (tiny french fries with truffle oil flavor) and brussel sprouts for side dishes. They were both really good, and we didn't finish all of them.
We used to eat at Canal Street, the previous restaurant in this same location. The A&B interior design is much brighter, which was fine with us. There is lots of dark wood to tone the brightness down a little bit. We both think that the food at A&B is better than at Canal Street. Our steaks were excellent, and they were the main attraction.
Highly recommended to others, and we look forward to coming again.
