| - Being hairy manly men who love their meat, my travel companion and I had high expectations of Moishe's. Moishe's did not disappoint.
Our meat was juicy, tender, marbled, charred crispy on the outside, dripping blood just below the seared layer. But for $45-$60 per slab, one should expect nothing less. I actually preferred the rack of lamb, which was served with a delicious dijon vinaigrette.
The sides were what exceeded expectations. After ordering, the table gets huge trays of bread and butter, house pickles and coleslaw. The bread was average and i thought it was bizarre that they put ice over the butter. The pickles were flavorful and crunchy, and the coleslaw was crisp and garlicky. These two were amazing by themselves, and the acidity balanced the fatty meats perfectly.
The potato that accompanies the meat was phenomenal. It was creamy, fluffy, herbed, and crunchy on top. The skin on the bottom was toasted and seasoned. I already love plain baked or boiled potatoes, you see. So this dish took me to a higher plane of love. Like maybe bordering on godly love.
Also, the servers were prompt and courteous. I like the way they just came around to do their business without being solicitous. They also gave us extra sides when we asked them to wrap up the leftovers. Unspoken random kindness, which was much appreciated.
