| - Ditka's was great but Da Coach was not there. I ate here for the first time the other and was very pleasantly surprised. We started out at the bar and they do not have too many beers on tap, but they did have Yuengling and Sam Adams Octoberfest. I was pleased to see both of those on tap. We had to wait a bit for a table, but it wasn't too long.
Our table started out with an order of the bruschetta for an appetizer. It was a slightly different bruschetta as the bread had melted cheese and it was drizzled with a balsamic dressing. I'm not the biggest bruschetta fan, but this was decent. I also ordered a caesar salad pre-meal. I'm a huge fan of having a salad pre-steak because I feel like it almost cleanses the palate. The caesar salad itself was nothing spectacular. In fact, it was pretty ordinary. Very similar to what a lot of chain restaurants to serve.
They've got a great menu. I knew going in I was going to order a steak, but I wasn't sure which cut I was going to get. I was deciding between their 10 oz Filet, the 16oz NY Strip and the Ribeye. I decided on the Strip and ordered it medium rare. We also ordered some sides for the table. As an FYI, all the sides are served a la carte. We went with some mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and asparagus. I must say that the potatoes were very good, but the star of the sides was the creamed spinach. It was completely over the top awesome and even came with some melted cheese on top which made it phenomenal. I would highly recommend ordering the creamed spinach. You will not be disappointed.
I was then served my steak - it was pretty freakin' awesome. It was cooked absolutely perfectly medium rare. It was incredibly tender and incredibly flavorful. It was easily one of the better steaks that I've had in a long time. I devoured it. There was almost no fat on it which made it even better. I also tried some of the Ditka's house steak sauce and that was very good, as well. I know you're not supposed to use a lot of steak sauce on a fine steak, but I like adding a bit to kick the flavor up a notch.
Then...we ordered some dessert. They had a pumpkin cheesecake and that is one of my all time favorite desserts so my mind was easily made up. It was very good - and it was served as a circular piece which was different. I'd recommend this also.
Overall, it was a very good meal. Service was very good and it's priced accordingly for a fine steakhouse. In my mind, the apps and salad are probably the only two things that prevented me from giving this place a 5-star rating. If I'm back in the area and craving a steak, I'd have absolutely no problem coming back here.
