| - I know it's a steakhouse but I ended up enjoying their seafood much more. The fire-roasted jumbo tequila shrimp was excellent. The shrimps were beyond jumbo size. These were huge. It is served with roasted garlic & pine nut risotto which was also pretty good. Pan-seared sea bass with truffle butter crust was nice and flaky and had a very subtle sweetness to it. Other people seemed to love this dish as well. Filet mignon was good too but I'm not a big steak person which is why I preferred their seafood items.
As many reviewers mentioned, the truffle-reggiano fries are a must try for appetizer. They are perfectly thin and crispy with just the right amount of truffle flavor. All their appetizers are huge and are meant to be shared with a party of at least two people. It took three people to finish the fries and we were all stuffed. We also ordered the Makers Mark bourbon creamed corn which was top notch.
They also had my favorite beer Delirium Tremens.
Our server was friendly and funny, and gave us some good recommendations, including how to enjoy their trio of salt on our bread. By the way, their complimentary breads were pretty darn good. They were super soft.
Place is located in the Renaissance Hotel near the Convention Center so is a pretty convenient place to dine if you are attending an event there.
Price is somewhat steep which is the reason I didn't give 5 stars. This place is more like 4 dollar signs, not 3. Most entrees were about $40-$60. With a drink, appetizer, entree, and tip, it will come out to more like $80 per person. I can get entrees at Hatfield's in LA for about $32-$40, and I think Hatfield's is a level higher than this place, but that's just my opinion. Regardless, the food here is pretty good.
