| - ** I somehow just discovered that I had an 'unfinished review' that I started at least a year ago. Wow. I'll portion off the section I wrote originally, and continue below it. **
-----------ORIGINAL------------
I've eaten here twice, about 18 months apart. Both times, I noted that the ribeye was one of the best steaks I've ever enjoyed.
A couple days ago, I took my dad and my roommate here for dinner. They seated us despite sandals, caps, and general raggedness, as we'd spent the whole day moving to a new condo. Service was impeccable and friendly. Most notably, the timing of the servers' trips to the table was flawless. My dad and I shared a ribeye for two with black pepper horseradish sauce, while my roommate had an 8oz filet mignon with the same sauce. We all shared sides of Romana beans and Tuscan fries. Everything was amazing.
My roommate and I got beers, of which they have a nice selection of imports, but my dad stuck with water, having to drive back to LA right after dinner.
All dishes were excellent. They did, however, play an entire Rolling Stones album during the meal. That was fairly annoying.
-------------------------------------
Ah yes. I have now eaten here three times, another shortly after the recount above. I took both of my parents and my roommate back only a couple months later, and had another fantastic meal. Even fewer little details to complain about this time.
My mom is allergic to cow's milk, so sometimes it's a challenge for a restaurant to avoid all dishes with butter or milk used in any stage of the prep - especially butter. But this place handled it marvelously, customizing everything for her with no issues. And the server immediately understood what her request was, which is a rare mark of quality in our experience.
Yet again, this meal was tremendous. We did order red wine this time around, which, in my opinion, is just-about imperative at a nice steakhouse. Unfortunately, they didn't have my favorite Spanish red in stock, but the sommelier reccomended a very nice and affordable bottle that we all enjoyed.
I'm rambling. This steakhouse kicks serious butt. Every side is classic, rustic, and delicious. Never too salty, sweet, cheesy, or anything strong enough to take away from the relatively subtle flavors of aged steaks. The wine and beer selections are top-notch. Service is immaculate. And the steaks...you'd contemplate killing your best friend to get one of their steaks on your plate.
But man...the music. It's consistently annoying. It's probably just me and there are probably a lot of people who either don't notice or enjoy it, so I'm not making much of a point about it. But I am docking a star.
Highly recommended!
