I must say that my first instinct is to stay away from places that market themselves as wine lounges. Not a wine guy so the food portion of the offering has to be substantive to get me there.
Today I succumbed to letting convenience trump my core values.
And guess what? I triumphed.
I ordered the Prime Rib French Dip served with fries.
The bomb!
The protein was delicious augmented by a layer of Swiss cheese.
The accompanying white sauce with horseradish made the sandwich even better. Although I must say that I would have preferred a much stronger hint of horseradish.
The au jus was disappointing. Too salty for my taste.
The fries were, honestly, some of the best I have had recently. Crisp, properly seasoned.
So I have to say my stereotype of wine lounges has been challenged.
A good thing because it opens up more avenues to enjoy delish!
