| - Hubby took me here for my 21st birthday celebration, and I absolutely loved it. (And him for taking me out for such a nice dinner!)
Dim lighting, loud music, great food.. This is definitely our kind of place. The decor is modern and hip with soft purple lights and booth seating, which I love since I prefer sitting next to my man. Although the music is loud, we still had an intimate evening. You get the vibe that you're at a cool, upscale lounge as opposed to a formal steakhouse.
For starters, we shared the burrata salad, a mix of cheese, heirloom tomatoes, balsamic, and basil. Not only was it beautifully plated, but it was equally tasty. A perfect start to our meal.
We both decided on their special for the evening: An 8 oz grass fed filet. I ordered mine cooked medium, which was a little too rare for my liking. Next time I would opt for medium-well, but the steak was still delicious! To accompany our steak, we chose the creamy Yukon potatoes, wild mushrooms, and asparagus. The potatoes are a must get! I really enjoyed the mushrooms, too. You can pass on the asparagus, though. It was nothing special, and had a rather strange, sour taste to them.
I guess hubby pulled some strings because they brought out a dessert just for my birthday! It was a plate that had "Happy Birthday" written on it in chocolate syrup with a cup of assorted mousse and a strawberry macaron. It was so good! Surprise your friend or date by calling the restaurant ahead of time to let them know you're celebrating a birthday. I'm sure they'll love it as much as I did. :)
