| - 4.5 - I really wish Yelp implemented a half-star system.
I was driving home from work today as usual and I noticed its big red sign. I always take that route and I have no idea why I haven't noticed it before lol. It looked like a fancy mansion so I got curious and decided to check it out.
The restaurant is beautiful. It sort of has a nice cozy home-ish feel, as well as a church-y feel. Fancy old school style. Also there is a doorman and complimentary valet parking! :)
The garlic bread served is heavenly. I asked for a second basket because it was SO amazing. I tried not to fill my tummy with the bread before our main but couldn't stop myself!!! :(
I know this is a steakhouse but we (two people) got a seafood platter for two and two glasses of wine. The platter says market price on the menu which turned out to be $185. And it was so worth it! Such huge shrimp, scallops, crab legs, and lobster!!! Super chunky! Drool! The garlic butter to dip your food in was just perfect! I couldn't believe how big the portion was. We weren't sure whether to get an appetizer or not, and the server said the portion of the platter is big and won't disappoint, and it sure did not! We couldn't finish it so we asked for the leftover to be packed to go. The platter also came with some veggies (asparagus, zucchini, and cauliflower) as well as two sides of choice. We got rice and mashed potatoes. Fries and baked potatoes were other available side options. The sides were okay - didn't stand out as much as the seafood. As we were super full, we had to skip on dessert.
The service was great too - attentive, friendly, and knowledgable of the wine and food.
The bill came to almost $300 with tax and tip, which I think is a bit higher than the average prices here, but what can I do? I love seafood! A LOT of seafood!
I definitely recommend this restaurant, especially for a special occasion. I think it is a safe spot for a fancy dinner. I know I will be back - I had a very pleasant time!
