I'm going to save you the trouble and tell you to not come here for steak... or just about anything else. I had high expectations when they advertised AAA+ steak for $30+ but was really disappointed with the quality of the meat and preparation of the meals. Spend a little extra and go somewhere else!
I pictured Cattle Baron to be a classy steakhouse but the decor was outdated and drab. Our server could have been a little more enthusiastic about his job - he was stiff, straightforward, and "distant".
Our group ordered a few appetizers to share such as the 'Chili Chicken' ($12) tossed in a spicy sweet chili sauce with crispy wontons. It came out on a small plate and was like eating cheap deep fried chicken tenders. It was okay... but not worth the money. We also got the 'Escargot' ($10) which came in 6 pieces. It was tender but really bland. The best part however was dipping the complimentary bread in the garlic herb butter the escargot was baked in.
For the main course, you can choose from their charbroiled steaks that are under $40 for the largest size (Choice: sirloin, rib eye, NY strip loin, filet mignon); or their house specialties ($24-$30) including prime rib, lamb, fish, chicken, ribs, linguini. Each steak comes with sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli); and your choice of baked potato, stuffed potato, or fries.
I ordered one of their combos, 'Pepper Shrimp Rib-Eye' ($36) which was a 10oz rib-eye steak with a handful of salt-n-pepper prawns. The shrimp was of decent size, lightly breaded, and tender. My steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, but the quality of the steak was dismal. The steak was thin (less than an inch) and the meat was tough and chewy.
I usually don't get dessert (~$10/ea) but I wanted to get a full overview of their menu. Based on the waiter's recommendation, we ordered their 'Apple Galette' which had a nice flaky puff pastry crust and wasn't overly sweet. The only missing part was a scoop of vanilla ice cream which was just whipped cream in this case. After reading another review, I chose their 'Dark Chocolate Cake' layered with Bernard Callebaut mousse, fruit coulis, and whipped cream. I was a little stunned when it came out because the slice of cake was huge (perfect for sharing). The cake was dense and was missing a depth of chocolate flavor. There was also an odd minty aftertaste that was off putting ...
