| - Made reservations for 5:30 when they open. Got there a few minutes early and noticed they already were letting people in, yay! Got seated and asked the hostess to take our pic.
Waiter came by for drink orders and to explain the menu. We wanted the aged rib eye for two but one problem, I like it med rare and my gf likes it.....well......ruined! I mean well done. The thing is both people have to order it the same. Price was $72 for each person. Ordering it separately $95!! What?! No steak is worth that much!!
I settled for the NY Strip, so did my gf. We also ordered Beef Cheek Ravioli as an appetizer as suggested by our waiter. Very GOOD choice, strong beef flavor and the meat just melts in your mouth! We also ordered 1 Jumbo Mediterranean Shrimp, VERY GOOD! Geez it looked and tasted like lobster it was sooo huge! I swear it must have been one pound, okay maybe not. Maybe 1/2 a pound. The only other side was some sort of Garlic Mash Potatoes which had a poached egg in it, and the waiter mixed it in before he left. I must say those were the BEST mashed potatoes I've had. I thought it was gross to have that basically raw egg in their but damn it was good!
Oh yeah at the beginning we were brought bread. Rosemary something, with butter and lard. I preferred the butter.
The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is for the price of a rib eye for 1 person. To me it should be offered for one at a more reasonable price. The NY strip just didn't cut it for me. It was alright, not as flavorful to me and a bit overpriced. My gf on the other hand loved it, but then again she likes her steaks WELL DONE! Ugh!
Almost forgot about dessert. My gf took the suggestion of our waiter with the blueberries and rasberries with honey dessert. Sorry forgot the name. It was kinda like a cheesecake. Very good. I had the cannollis, also very good.
The service was top notched, the staff here deserves a 5 star rating!
