| - I received a $50 gift Cert from my work as a Christmas gift and I couldn't wait to try this place as I have heard good reviews from friends. My Girlfriend and I had a reservation for 6 pm, and it arrived about 5 minutes late, got stuck behind a stupid train near Grand... Grrr. but they had the table ready for as soon as we got there. The Server was Awesome the whole night, There was another person assisting the waiter as well with refills and bread, he was also awesome. The bread & butter are AWESOME, they serve the freshly baked bread with 2 butters, if I remember right I think he said it was tomato butter and a feta butter, they were both SO good, I couldn't choose a winner, they are both great for different reasons.
We opted to get the Special they are running, the Sunday Prime Rib Dinner, it includes a Salad, Prime Rib with 1 side and a dessert, all for $29.99 a person. It was SUCH a good deal for this service level and quality of food. Normally just a steak at this place is $35-45 without anything else included.
My GF doesn't like salad too much so we asked if we could pay more and get a soup, and he said actually the French onion soup can be swapped at no extra charge, Or you can get the special soup of the day Lobster Bisque for an extra $5 , my GF ordered the French Onion, and I got the lobster Bisque. Both soups were AWESOME, there was a LOT of lobster in this soup, they don't skimp out. It was a great creamy soup, and the French onion was enjoyed very much by my GF, it had a LOT of cheese on it, which she loves, it's her favorite part of course.
Within about 3 minutes of finishing the soup, the Prime Rib arrived, And we were both impressed with how big it was ! they don't hold back here ! it came with Au jus of course, and also a wonderful creamy horseradish sauce, and also a mustard horseradish sauce that was good, but I prefer the other one more. We both ordered the Prime Rib to be cooked to Medium, and it was PERFECT medium. We both LOVED this Prime rib, it was fork, or even Spoon tender, really no need for a knife because the beef was so tender. I ordered the Flemings Potatoes for my side, which are VERY thin sliced potatoes layered with a cream sauce, cheese and jalapenos, but it's not spicy at all, just the flavor of the jalapenos, then it is topped with cheese and baked, it was AWESOME. My GF got the Garlic mashed potatoes, it was a bowl of Mashed Taters topped with a bunch of roasted garlic that you mix in, she loved them, I tried a bite and they were good also, just not as good as mine ! We both could not finish, I have probably at least half my Meat left, probably more than half and about 2/3 of the potatoes are left.
It came with Dessert also, they told us it came with a White Chocolate bread pudding, and my GF doesn't like bread pudding usually so he said she could replace with any of the other desserts and there was no charge for this. She opted for the Chocolate Lava Cake, but he told is will take about 20 minutes for that dessert, he asked if that was okay and we said yes. it actually took less time than that, it wasn't a long wait at all. The Bread pudding was INSANELY good, it wasn't super mushy like normal bread pudding, this was caramelized on the bottom of the bread portion, it was basically little dice sized cubes of bread, in a dome shape placed on top of a puddle of delicious creamy vanilla and white chocolate sauce, they also brought the table a bowl of Chantilly vanilla whipped cream, you KNOW that was good. This is bread pudding for people who dont normally like bread pudding. If you try a bite of this, and you DONT like it, there is something wrong with you ! My Lady enjoyed her Chocolate Lava cake, it was much larger than mine, it came with the cake, a big scoop of ice cream in an awesome little crisp type of sugar cookie, and also a little pot of chocolate sauce, she loved it and was very happy with it. I tried hers as well, I also liked it but I liked mine a little bit better. I don't drink Alcohol at all, and my Gf didn't feel like drinking so it was Mango Iced tea for both of us, and they never let it get empty.
Over all it was pretty much the perfect dining experience, I couldn't even say one thing that went bad or that we didn't enjoy. It was my first time, but clearly won't be my last ! and to make sure of that, on the receipt they gave us an offer, if we go to their website and tell them how the experience was, they will give us a $25 dining credit for our next reservation there. So we will be back FOR SURE ! and Hopefully SOON ! Next time the Bone in Rib eye is all mine !
