| - Went to Smith Bro.s on the suggestion of my customer. It was a Friday night, around 7pm, the four of us. We were greeted and seated promptly sans reservations in a friendly manner by the hostess and Ryan, which we find out later he is one of the managers.
First, the customer service. Our server was Claudia. Top notch service throughout until the end...and that these days is rare my friends... bread that was offered whenever we ran out. Water cups upsized for us for the ones that didnt drink alcohol, extra utensils for sharing, made sure there was sufficient sauces all round. And all this without even having us to ask for it!
I just wanna take this moment to say "THANK-YOU CLAUDIA" for serving us. If everyone had YOUR attitude & efficiency other restaurants would be making a lotta money.
Okay, now to the food. We ordered:
sirloin steak w/ bacon bourbon sauce
rib eye w/ mushroom sauce
striploin w/ peppercorn sauce
panko fried shrimp match stick fries
beer Sampler
brownie w/ ice cream
I'll simply summarize our food. Steaks were nicely done AS PER how you like. they"re quit on the mark with this. Served with a generous amount of yummy fluffy mashed potatos. The sauces were nice as well.
The panko fried shrimp, nice & crispy, fair amount & served temperature hot. Served with the lil matchstick fries .... which I would've enjoyed them a bit more crispier. (little soggy chefs)
Don't forget the bread, because of this light crispy crust & warm soft centre, it made me compare it with another popular steak restaurant & I can say NO comparison. Smith Bro.'s please do not change this bread or the nice butter that it comes with.
In terms of beer, hoping to see maybe Stella, Flying Monkey's, Guinness ....just suggesting. :)
The brownie. What can I say "YUMMY"!. More cake-like than all that sugary fudgy stuff. A scoop of red pralines ice on top to finish.
The reason for dropping a star is because of "NO MORE PRIME RIB", the usual item I order at steak restaurants, & they're out. It was Friday & only 7pm, quit early to be running out, meanwhile over hearing the table next to us wanted it as well. Can we maybe provide more prime rib on the weekends perhaps & keep the patrons happy?? . Thank you.
