| - I'd heard great things about Queue de Cheval over the years. Overall, however, I was disappointed.
First off, a disclosure: I am not a huge steak person. I like it, but I don't crave it. I don't eat it often. So you might wonder what I was doing at Queue de Cheval in the first place. It was a birthday dinner, and the birthday girl chose the restaurant. But my rating is for other reasons. The service was just kind of off. For the very high price you pay here, I would have expected much better.
On the positive side, we started off with a huge and succulent lobster tail. I have never seen a lobster that big. But the steak tasted fairly average - good, but my mouth wasn't watering. The broccoli was ok, but very plain. The creamed spinach was good.
They have a wine list that leans very heavily on the very expensive, designed-to-impress side. However, we managed to find a very tasty, somewhat reasonably priced Italian red that we really enjoyed. But I was savouring my last glass when the server accidentally poured another table's wine in my glass (mixing the two wines together). Ok, accidents happen, and at least they apologized and brought me a new glass of wine. But the replacement wine wasn't in the same league as our original bottle and so I lamented that lost glass.
All in all, for the price you pay here I think you could find better food and have a more enjoyable experience elsewhere.
