| - Man. This is the best meat I've had since my experience last year in an Austin steakhouse (don't tell my husband). ;)
We came here for a pharmaceutical industry talk. Not only did we have what seemed like an endless infusion of the delicious cab sauv (perfectly smooth and a great pairing with the steak), we also were treated to spectacular meatballs (they're HUGE!), perfectly cooked calamari (not even a fishy taste or a chewy sensation), and a delicious caesar salad. I had the New York Strip, medium, which was served on a sizzling plate. I loved the fact that you can get your meat a little more undercooked than you normally do and then cut it up into pieces and finish searing it to perfection on top of your dinner plate. The flavor was outstanding, and the outside was cooked perfectly to a crispy, juicy finish. I also took a bite of the petite filet mignon, which was absolutely delicious. They were both so good, I'm not even sure which one I would choose next time. The mashed potatoes and spinach were great sides, but honestly the meat would have been fine without the sides in my mind.
We finished off a delicious meal with some sort of caramel cake topped with vanilla ice-cream. They almost had to roll me out of the restaurant, we had so much food.
The setting is awesome as well. We were in the back in a group room with a powerpoint projector, but we got to pass by some cool tables with candles and glass windows, and we also walked past an area where they had some fresh seafood laid out for examination. It looks like a perfect place for a date, and I hear the seafood is excellent.
5 stars from me!
