| - Oh, cows, how tasty you are. I rarely eat meat, but I made an exception because someone else was paying and I figured that Jacobs would know what it was doing. And oh, does it ever! This place is a classic steakhouse: the food's not particularly adventurous or avant garde (if you don't want steak, you can have chicken. Or maybe fish), but everything they do, they do very well, right down to the ritual dressing of your Caesar salad at the table.
The sides are predictable (lots of variants of potatoes), as are the desserts (creme brulee and chocolate cake), but they're tasty and go well with the steak--which truly does deserve to be the centre of the meal. Well-aged, perfectly seared, tender beef: how delicious!
The place doesn't seem very busy, though, which detracts from the experience, and the upselling (get a salad! get some oysters! how about some wine?) made me cringe a bit, but it's otherwise a great place to go. (To be fair, the salad, oysters, and wine were excellent.)
