I have been dying to dine at Strip and FINALLY the day had come when my boyfriend treated me to this gem for my birthday.
You can't imagine how excited I was. From the moment I set eyes on the renovated barn I knew I had picked the perfect place for my 32nd birthday.
Inside was even better. I felt a little sorry for the diners on the main floor as our hostess guided us upstairs to the main dining area. But the sadness I felt for them was short-lived once we got to our table.
I don't quite know how to describe the ambience...it was romantic yet rustic. Whoever renovated this old barn did a fabulous job. They maintained the original look but added modern elements that worked well together.
Now on to the best part....the FOOD!
Our waiter was very knowledgeable and I still don't quite know how he remembered and recited the specials perfectly.
My boyfriend and I started off with the Flip Flop Salad which was a cold lobster salad on top of romaine. It wasn't too salty or heavy on the mayo, just right.
For our main course I ordered the Cowboy which was a 22 ounce bone in ribeye. By the way, Strip only serves Gold Certified Black Angus steaks that are prime-graded
and aged over 21 days. I believe I heard the waiter say that only two or three other restaurants in Cleveland can boast this.
My Ribeye was juicy, perfectly cooked, and very flavorful...forget the Béarnaise Sauce I chose to go with it...it didn't need it!
Even though I couldn't even finish half of it, no worries...I intentionally ordered this huge portion so that I could have leftovers =) Which retained it's deliciousness the next day
All of the side dishes they have on the menu is served family style and one could easily feed 4 people. We ordered the Bourbon Creamed Corn which was also absolutely delicious....
I have no complaints and I was completely satisfied at Strip....I will be back, oh yes....I will be back ( I love Wayne's World)
