| - It had been a few years since I had eaten at Sullivan's, but I recalled enjoying a great meal there for my former employer's Christmas party back in 2008.
With a $50 gift card in hand, we decided to head to Sullivan's to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday. With expectations relatively high, I have to be honest and say that we were underwhelmed (and our pockets where overwhelmed, as the high prices did not reflect the quality of our experience).
We both ordered steak, which comes with a salad. We both opted for Caesar. It was a very large portion, but lacking in flavor. My filet was cooked properly, and the bourbon peppercorn sauce added a nice kick. The porterhouse did not get such gleaming reviews.
The brussels sprouts were undercooked, but I have to say that the bacon pieces were delicious. The mushrooms were good, but I agree with another reviewer who said they were quite salty. And I am that person putting salt on everything, so that says something. We ordered a half bottle of Cote du Rhone, which was probably the highlight of the meal.
We opted out of dessert.
The service started out strong, but started to dwindle by the end. I just expect more of a high-end experience when you are dishing out $200 for dinner with no appetizer and no dessert.
