| - Mm mm mmm!! This place is awesome! I've been hearing about Mechant Boeuf for years now, and finally made reservations last Friday for the hub and I. After reading many mixed reviews, I prepared my mind to expect sub-par service, however this couldn't have been further from the truth.
Upon arriving, we checked our coats in (free), and were led to our table near the front window. Cool music and red dim lights definitely set the vibe for a modern and funky night ahead of us. Our hostess was very nice and was there within minutes to take our drink order. Soon thereafter, we received our drinks which were super strong and quite large, and placed our food order. We both went for different cuts of steak with the crispy shrimp to share as an appetizer.
The presentation of the shrimp was great (sort of like lollipops that stuck out of a board) and the taste was even better with and without the honey garlic sauce on the side. Then came another round of different drinks which were just as good as the first, and finally our main dishes.
It's funny, but many places are capable of messing up simple steak and potatoes, but those places most definitely do not include Mechant Boeuf. My sirloin was immpecably cooked, super tender, and full of flavor. Not to mention the phenomenal cheesy mashed potatoes that came on the side. The hub also loved his steak, and his fries were super yummy (of course I had to steal a few...ok maybe 10...:p).
All in all a great experience for a super fair price. We will absolutely be back!
