| - After attending a Yelp Elite event here last year, I have been craving BLT's incredible popovers ever since! They are the way to my heart!
We checked in promptly for our reservation and were seated a few minutes later. I will have to say before I venture on to what we ordered and ate that the service here was really poor. We were inside the restaurant close to three hours because we were constantly waiting on our server.
After being seated, we were served with waters and menus. We waited about ten minutes to put in a drink order and receive those delicious popovers. These things are what other bread baskets look up to. Big, warm, crusty, cheesy buns served with softened butter and an overly large sea salt canister that means business.
Once these beauties arrived, we waited another ten minutes for our drinks. When they were delivered we asked our server to please take our order not knowing when we would see him again.
We ordered the tuna tartare, the wedge salad, the filet mignon, bone-in rib eye, Brussels sprouts, loaded baked potato and banana cream pie.
The tuna tartare was incredible. Served up with a soy lime dressing on fresh avocado and a side of potato chips, this dish is the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. I loved the unusual side of chips to eat this dish with. The tuna was fresh and the portion was just right.
The wedge was also delicious, with a nice creamy blue cheese dressing, huge pieces of salty bacon and tasty tomatoes on a large portion of crisp lettuce.
Our steaks were both cooked perfectly with a nice char on each and herb butter that doesn't make you wonder where the additional sauce is. You can order sauces of course, but we didn't as the purists that we are. Both steaks were seasoned well with salt and pepper and an even temperature all the way through.
Our sides were sub par. I thought the Brussels sprouts were overly sweet and needed a little more cooking, the loaded potato was like any other and nothing made it stand out to me.
The banana cream pie was not your typical and one of their most popular dishes. The crust is filled with walnuts and cinnamon, large slices of banana with a cream filling and homemade whip cream and caramel sauce! It was a nice way to end your meal without overly indulging on something really heavy.
Back to our service, our plates and waters were never cleared or filled in a timely manner. Our appetizer dirty dishes sat there until our main course arrived. Our main dirty dishes sat there for thirty minutes once we were done. At one point a manger noticed and came over and cleared them for us. During the time we waited, we watched our server pass us several times and not come over. We finally flagged him down asking for our check because we had been sitting there so long without being noticed or helped.
I know they were busy, but I hope that doesn't mean their service is always lacking. I love the food here but I can't spend three hours at a restaurant when a meal should take about half that.
Needless to say, those popovers might have me coming back and grabbing a seat at their bar.
